Question | Answer |
Primary Wavelengths of sunlight | Red, Green, Blue |
Equation for Photosynthesis | 6 CO2 + 6 H20 --> C6H12O6 + 6 O2 |
Color of light NOT asorbed by leaves | green |
Openings in the bottom of the leaf | stoma |
plant cells in leaf where photosynthesis takes place | mesophyll |
Cell organelle where photosynthesis takes place | chloroplast |
Green discs located inside of chloroplast | thylakoid |
The light dependent reaction takes place here | thylakoid |
This molecule is used to re-stabilize Photosystem 2 | water |
Sunlight excites chlorophyll and release this in Photosystem 2 | electron |
When the electron moves down the electron transport chain, it pumps this across the thylakoid membrane | hydrogen |
The electron that is recharged in Photosystem 1 is grabbed by NADP+ and forms this? | NADPH |
Electrons flow through ATP Synthase, turning ADP into ATP. This movement is called this? | Chemiosmosis |
At the end of the light dependent reaction, these 2 energy storage molecules move on to the Calvin Cycle. | ATP and NADPH |
The Calvin Cycle is also called this? | C3 or Light Independent Reaction |
How many carbon dioxide molecules are needed in the Calvin Cycle? | 6 |
How many ATP molecules are needed in the Calvin Cycle? | 18 |
How many NADPH molecules are needed in the Calvin Cycle? | 12 |
Where does the Calvin Cycle take place? | stroma |
2 of these molecules are made during the Calvin Cycle | G3P |
These energy storage molecules are left over at the end of the Calvin Cycle | ADP and NADP+ |
Two molecules of G3P combine to form this? | glucose...C6H12O6 |
Photosystem 1 and 2 are found on the surface of this membrane? | thylakoid |
A stack of thylakoids is called this? | grana (granum) |
These 2 cycles are alternatives to the Calvin Cycle in plants. | CAM and C4 |
