Bio Photosynthesis t
Photosynthesis Test: Photosystems, Process
| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| What is Photosynthesis? | Light Energy is captured and converted into chemical potential energy in the form of glucose. |
| What is the Photosynthesis equation? | 6 CO2 + 6 H2O + light energy -------> C6H12O6 + 6 O2 |
| What is the structure of a chloroplast? | Double-membraned; contains thylakoids and stroma. |
| What is a thylakoid and what process/processes takes place inside them? | Flattened disk-like sacs that contain chlorophyll. Light-dependent reactions. |
| What is the stroma and what process/processes take place inside them? | Fluid portion in the chloroplast. Light independent reactions or "dark reactions." |
| What is chlorophyll? | Green photosynthetic pigment that makes plants green. |
| What is grana? | Stacks of thylakoids put together. |
| What is a photosystem? | An area of packed chlorophyll and acceptor molecules? |
| What is the structure of chlorophyll? | Has a Porphyrin ring and phytol. The molecular structure allows the grouping of chlorophyll. |
| What is the electron carrier in photosynthesis? | NADPH= NADH + Phosphate |
| What are the 3 steps of the Calvin Cycle? | 1. Carbon Fixation (combines CO2 with RuBP) 2. PGA----->PGAL (PGAL formation uses energy) 3. Glucose formation and RuBP synthesis. (RuBP synthesis uses energy and 10 PGAL) |
| What is the first step of the cycle of photosynthesis? | Water enters the light reactions. |
| What is the second step of the cycle of photosynthesis? | Oxygen exits the light reactions. |
| What is the third step of the cycle of photosynthesis? | ATP and NADPH are produced by light reactions. ATP and NADPH enters dark reactions. |
| What is the fourth step of the cycle of photosynthesis? | CO2 enters the dark reactions. |
| What is the fifth step of the cycle of photosynthesis? | ADP and NADP+ |
| What is the sixth step of the cycle of photosynthesis? | Glucose is produced. |
| What is the seventh step of the cycle of photosynthesis? | Chemiosmosis. |
| Is photosynthesis an endergonic or an exergonic reaction? Why? | Endergonic. There is an energy input (light). |
