Ch. 6 Photosynthesis

Quiz yourself by thinking what should be in each of the black spaces below before clicking on it to display the answer.
        Help!  

Question
Answer
ATP   Stores energy Releases energy when phosphate group is removed  
🗑
Light dependent reactions prodcuts   ATP, NADPH, O2  
🗑
Light independent reaction products   Organic matter (carbohydrates, lipid proteins, ADP, NADP+) mainly glucose ADP, NADP+  
🗑
Photosynthesis   Uses sunlight to convert water & carbon dioxide into oxygen & high energy sugars 6CO2 + 12H2O----light energy----C6H12O6 + 6O2 + 6H2O  
🗑
Pigments   Molecules that absorb solar energy necessary for photosynthesis chlorophyll “a” gets the reaction started. ex. chlorophyll  
🗑
Stroma   Space that surrounds the thylakoids Also surrounds grana  
🗑
Beginning step of photosynthesis   Pigments in Photosystem II absorb light  
🗑
Calvin Cycle and dark reactions   another name fro light independent reaction  
🗑
Chlorophyll a reaction to light being absorbed   Electrons become excited  
🗑
Autotroph   Makes own food/energy  
🗑
Heterotroph   Eat other things for food/energy  
🗑
Granum (grana)   Stacks of thylakoids Contains chlorophyll  
🗑
Photosystem I   Unit where solar energy is absorbed and higher energy electrons are formed. I Generates ATP II Generates NADPH  
🗑
NADP+   NADP+ molecules accepts electrons and H+ during photosystem to form NADPH  
🗑
NADPH   Carries hydrogen to Calvin Cycle and turns into NADP+  
🗑
Chloroplasts   Where photosynthesis happens  
🗑
Thylakoids   Membranes in chloroplast Photosynthetic membrane  
🗑
chemiosmosis   Process that relies on concentration gradient of protons Whole process of ATP synthase  
🗑
ATP synthase   Allows H+ ions to pass through the thylakoid membrane out of the thylakoids. Protein carrier that harnesses energy from concentration gradient of H+ to make ATP by adding a phosphate to ADP  
🗑
Carbon fixation   Incorporation of carbon dioxide into organic compounds Carbon dioxide comes from atoms. in as gas thru calvin cycle it joins w/ RUBP to make PGAL  
🗑
ROY G BIV   Colors of rainbow Red longest wave Violet shortest wave  
🗑
Ribose   5-carbon sugar  
🗑
Light independent reactions (what happens)   CO2 enters 4rm atmosphere&combines w/carbon there already ATP&NADPH give new carbon molecules energy(ATP becomes ADP NADPH becomes NADP+ both go back to light reaction cycle repeats)Produce sugars,lipids,amino acids. Left over carbon goes thru cycle again  
🗑
Light dependent reactions (what happens)   Sunlight hits chlorop energy knocks electrons 4rm chlorop get passed2ETC. H2O molecules split2replace electrons lost 4rm chloro. (in form of Hydr) Oxy 4rm H2O is released. Hydr atoms 4rm H2O r picked up by NADP+ becomes NADPH carries hydrogen to Calvin C  
🗑
Why are Chloroplasts green?   Chlorophyll absorbs other wavelengths like red and blue, but reflects green wavelenghts of light.  
🗑
Chemical equation for photosynthesis   6CO2 + 12H2O → 6O2 + C6H2O6 + 6H2O  
🗑
Light independent reaction reactants   CO2, ATP, NADPH, RuBP  
🗑
Light independent reaction location   stroma  
🗑
Light dependent reaction reactants   Sunlight, H2O, ADP, NADP+  
🗑
Light dependent reaction location   Thylakoid Membrane  
🗑
photons   Packet of solar energy  
🗑
electrons/ electron transport chain   2 electrons are excited in chlrophyll “a” the passage of electrons along series of carrier proteins from higher to lower energy.  
🗑


   

Review the information in the table. When you are ready to quiz yourself you can hide individual columns or the entire table. Then you can click on the empty cells to reveal the answer. Try to recall what will be displayed before clicking the empty cell.
 
To hide a column, click on the column name.
 
To hide the entire table, click on the "Hide All" button.
 
You may also shuffle the rows of the table by clicking on the "Shuffle" button.
 
Or sort by any of the columns using the down arrow next to any column heading.
If you know all the data on any row, you can temporarily remove it by tapping the trash can to the right of the row.
