Parts of a Chloroplast
The fluid-filled space inside the chloroplast surrounds the thylakoid membranes and is where the Calvin cycle takes place
What is the stroma?
The two reactants required for photosynthesis that are sourced from the environment.
What is carbon dioxide (CO2) and water (H20)?
These reactions require this form of energy to start the process (be specific).
What is solar energy/light energy?
Two other names for the light-independent reactions.
What is the Calvin Cycle and the Dark Reactions?
The type of sugar made in photosynthesis. Give name and chemical formula.
What is glucose, C6H12O6?
The stacks of disk-like structures
The two primary products of photosynthesis that the plant uses or releases.
What is oxygen gas and glucose (sugar)?
The substance taken in and used in these reactions.
What is water?
The substance taken in and used in these reactions.
The membrane that surrounds the entire chloroplast and controls movement of substances in and out.
The part of a plant where H2O is taken in.
What is the roots?
The substance that is released as a product in these reactions.
What is oxygen gas?
The substance that is produced in these reactions.
Glucose (a sugar)
The disk-like structure within the chloroplast that contains pigment molecules like chlorophyll.
What is thylakoids?
The part of the plant that where oxygen and carbon dioxide gas is exchanged.
The leaves (stomatas)
The location in a chloroplast where this reaction takes place.
What is thylakoids?
The location of these reactions in the chloroplast.
What is the stroma?
The three types of organisms that use photosynthesis to make energy.
What is plants, algae, and some bacteria?
Explain the roles of the stroma and thylakoid in photosynthesis.
Write the balanced overall chemical equation for photosynthesis using chemical formulas.
6H2O + 6CO2 >>> C6H12O6 + 6O2
The order of which this process occurs (first or second step)
What is the first step of photosynthesis?
The order of which this process occurs (first or second step)
What is the second step of photosynthesis?
Factors that might influence the rate at which organisms.
What is availability of water, light intensity, and availability of carbon dioxide?
