What is the shorten version Adenosine triphosphate?
ATP
What is photosynthesis?
Processed used by plants and other autotrophs to capture light energy and store it in energy rich compounds such as sugar
What is another name of light independent reactions?
Calvin cycle
Where does L-D take place in?
On the edge of the thylakoids
What is the material that absorbs light energy?
Pigment
What is the shorten version of Adenosine diphosphate? And what is the dif from ATP
ADP and it has one less phosphate
Where is energy stored in during photosynthesis?
In ATP
What is the main energy source in L-I reactions.
ATP and NADPH
What are other factors that affect photosynthesis?
Temperature
Light intensity
Availability of water
What are the names of two pigments and what are their colors
Chlorophyll - Green
Carotene - red/orange
Where can NADPH be found
In the light dependent reactions
What is the 4 (LIST) steps that Mr. Leach gave is for light dependent?
1. Photosystem 2
2. Electronic transport chains
3 Photosystem 1
4. ATP formation
What is the 4 (LIST) steps that Mr. Leach gave is for light independent?
1. 6CO2 enters, binds with 6 5-carbons molecules to form 12 3-carbons
2.Energy from ATP and NADPH used to energize 12 3-C
3. 2 of the 3-C escape the cycle to become sugar
4. 10 3-C rearrange to form 6 5-C molecs.
What does the thylakoids look like?
Saclike membranes formed in chloroplasts
What is the stroma?
Fluid portion of the chloroplast outside of the thylakoids
6CO2 + 6H2O ---> C6H12O6 + 6O2
List reactions and productions of light dependent reactions
Reactions: Water, light
Products: O2, NADPH. ATP
List the reactions and products of L-I.
(Bonus points if you say the molecules of sugar)
Reactions: ATP, NADPH, 6CO2
Products: Sugar (C6H12O6), ADP, NADP+
What is photosystem?
Cluster of chlorophyll and proteins found in the thylakoids
What concentration gradient powers ATP synthase?
H+
How many 3-Carbons does it take for the Calvin cycle?
What is ATP Synthase
Enzyme that spans the thylakoid membrane and produces atp from ADP when H+ pass through
Where does L-I reactions take place in?
The stroma
What is a group of thylakoids stacked called?
Grana
Where does the O2 from water go after being split.
Its thrown out and released into the air
