What is a Heterotroph
Organisms that obtain energy through food
Where do light-reactions happen in chloroplast
In sack-like structures
What is an Autotroph
Organisms that make own food
What occurs in the process of photosynthesis?
Plants use sunlight, water, and carbon dioxide to create oxygen and energy in the form of sugar
What are Pigments?
Plants gather sun's energy with light-absorbing molecules
Example of autotroph and hetertroph
Plants & Human
What is a Stroma?
The region outside thylakoid membranes in chloroplast
What are 2 ways in which cells use the energy provided by ATP?
1 - Active Transport
2 - Powers movement within the cell
Pigments
Chloroplast contain sack-like photosynthetic membranes called...
Thylakoids
What happens when leaves change color in the fall
Green goes away from plant, showing yellow underneath
What is a Carrier Molecule?
Compound that accepts high-energy electrons and transfers most of their energy to another molecule
How many phosphate groups does ADP have?
2
What is the principal pigment of plants?
Chlorophyll
What is a Granum?
Thylakoids arranged in stacks
What is an example of Light-Dependent
Converting ADP into ATP
What does Calvin Cycle use to produce?
Uses ATP and NADPH from light-dependent reactions to produce high-energy sugars
How many phosphate groups does ATP have?
3
Photosynthesis uses the energy of sunlight to convert water and carbon dioxide into oxygen and high energy...
Sugars
How does NADP+ become NADPH?
Some of the energy of sunlight can be trapped in chemical form
What is the equation for photosynthesis?
CO2 + H2O ---> C6H12O6 + 02
REMEMBER: Gas, Water, Light, Sugars, Gas
What is an example of Light-Independent?
CO2 used to produce glucose
Where does the energy of food orginally come from?
The Sun
What does photosynthesis require in addition to water and carbon dioxide?
Requires Light & Chlorophyll
BRAIN BREAK *cow noises*: Who will Bella most likely end up with? End up dating by the end of the year
IDK hopefully a good person
