Photosynthesis
How does Photosynthesis occur?
What is capturing light energy?
(Light energy from the Sun must be captured).
What color does the Chlorophyll absorb well?
What is Blue-Violet, or Red?
How many phosphate groups does ATP have?
What is Three.
What's the main source of energy for life on Earth?
What is the Sun?
What happens when ADP gains another phosphate?
What is becoming ATP?
Is Photosynthesis the primary source of all food on Earth, true or false?
What is True?
What color does the Chlorophyll NOT absorb well?
What is Green?
(This is why leaves appear green!)
What does ATP stand for?
What is Adenosine Triphosphate?
What do living things need energy for(name at least two things)?
What is growing, moving, reproducing, and building new molecules?
What sugar is found in ATP?
What is Ribose?
In the Photosynthesis process, what does the Water lose and what does the Carbon Dioxide gain?
What is Electrons?
(Within the plant cell Water is oxidized meaning it loses electrons, while Carbon Dioxide is reduced so it gains electrons).
Is the Chloroplast/Chlorophyll apart of the Photosynthesis process, true or false?
What is True?
(Yes, it helps it produce energy!)
What does ADP stand for?
What is Adenosine Diphosphate?
Name two forms that energy can come in.
What is Light, Heat, and Chemical?
What type of organism eat other living organisms?
What is Heterotroph?
Where does Photosynthesis live at?
What is the Chloroplast?
(Chloroplasts perform photosynthesis!)
What is the Chloroplast filled with?
What is Grana?
(Stacks of Thylakoid Membranes.)
How does ADP differ from ATP?
What is TWO phosphate groups and LESS energy?
When energy is stored in chemical bonds, what kinds of energy is it?
What is Chemical Energy?
What type of organisms makes its own food?
What is Autotroph?
What is the formula of Photosynthesis?
What is 6CO2 + 6H2O -> Light -> C6H12O6 + 6O2?
(Carbon Dioxide + Water -> Light -> Sugars + Oxygen.)
What do plant cells treat? HINT: The answer was sort of told in a previous answer.
What is High-Energy Electrons?
(The Chloroplasts obtain high-energy electrons and transport it from themselves to other molecules.)
What job does NADP+ do?
What is accepting and holding onto two high energy electrons such as the Hydrogen Ion (H+) and converts it into NADPH?
Explain how energy changes when a candle is lit.
What is chemical energy in the wax changes to the light (the flame) and the heat energy?
What do Light-Dependent Reactions do?
What is taking low-energy electrons from water molecules, and use solar energy to raise them to much higher energy levels?
