Vocabulary
What is photosynthesis?
the process of using sunlight to produce glucose
Water is a product in the photosynthetic process. True or false?
false
What does ADP stand for
adenosine diphosphate
Which plant part absorbs water that is necessary for the photosynthesis process?
the roots
What is Ms. Atika's favorite color?
all shades of Blue
Which pigment is located in the chloroplast and traps the energy from the sunlight?
chlorophyll
One molecule of Glucose is used in photosynthesis to make 6 molecules of oxygen. True or false?
false
What is the chemical formula carbon dioxide?
CO2
Which organelle captures energy from the sun? And describe the structure of this organelle.
chloroplast. It has: inner and outer membrane, stroma, thylakoid, grana
What should you bring with you to the Biology lab?
Bio notebook or binder
device
pencil case
hijab
What is the name of the thylakoid stacks?
Grana
Carbon dioxide is a reactant in photosynthesis. True or false?
true.
What is the long form of ATP molecule, and what makes it up? (describe its structure)
adenosine triphosphate. Its is made up of adenine, ribose sugar, 3 phosphate group.
When do light reactions take place? Explain why do they occur at that specific time?
During the daytime, because they need sunlight energy to break down water molecules into O2
Name three things that are not allowed in the lab.
Water bottles + food
Chewing gum.
not putting the hijab around the neck.
side talks.
Opening and playing with the tap water.
What energy products get recycled from the light independent reactions?
ADP, NADP+
photosynthesis is a catabolic chemical reaction since it uses energy to make glucose. True or false?
false.
On the board, write the balanced chemical equation for photosynthesis.
6CO2 + 6H2O ---sunlight----->C6H12O6 + 6O2
What are the two main stages of photosynthesis? What happens if light dependent reaction failed to do their job?
1. light dependent reactions + Calvin cycle
2. ATP, NADPH will not be produced to power the Calvin cycle or no oxygen will be released for livings
What is the name of the openings in the leaf that allows gas exchange?
Stomata
What are the energy products that result from the light dependent reactions and used in Calvin cycle?
ATP, NADPH+
The chemical formula for glucose is : C6H12O2 true or false?
false
Write the balanced chemical equation for cellular respiration?
C6H12O6 + 6O2 ------->6CO2 + 6H2O + ATP
When does Calvin cycle take place? Describe two events that happen during the Calvin cycle.
carbon dioxide is used to make glucose and the energy of ATP and NADPH is used.
Name one factor that might influence the speed of photosynthesis.
1. Light intensity
2. CO2 concentration
3. Water availability
4. Temperature
