Photosynthesis Equation
Carbon dioxide, water
what is the part of the chloroplast that is responsible for using its pigment to absorb sunlight
Thylakoid
photo
light
The ability to do work
energy
What are the products of photosynthesis?
Glucose and oxygen
What part of the chloroplast does light dependent reactions take place
Thylakoids
synthesis
make/ build
What is a producer?
Organism that makes food for itself using energy from the sun (autotrophs)
What are the products of light dependent reactions
ATP and NADPH
What part of the chloroplast does light independent reactions take place?
Stroma
auto
self
What is a consumer?
An organism that gets its energy from by eating other living organisms. (heterotrophs)
What is produced in the light independent reaction?
Glucose and Oxygen
What is the granum?
Stacks of thylakoids
hetero
other
Differentiate between heterotrophs and autotrophs. Give an example of each! How do they create a cycle of energy?
autotroph makes own food. Heterotrophs eat other things for energy.
Write the full photosynthesis equation.
6CO2 + 6H2O + sunlight --> C6H12O6 + 6O2
Plants gather energy from the sun with light absorbing molecules called
pigments/ chlorophyll
troph
feeding
What are the three parts to an ATP molecule?
adenine, ribose and three phosphate groups
