Leaf Anatomy
Which organelle is responsible for doing photosynthesis?
Chloroplast
Light strikes chlorophyll in Phtosystem II. Do these electrons gain energy or lose energy?
Gain energy
What is Phase 1 of the Calvin Cycle called?
Carbon Fixation
The splitting of water at photosystem II is known as_____
Photolysis
The green discs in the chloroplast are called? This is also where light dependent reactions occur.
Thylakoids
Hydrogen Ions and Oxygen
What is Phase 2 of the Calvin Cycle called?
Reduction
Which products of the light-dependent reactions are used in the Calvin Cycle to help form reduced organic compounds?
ATP and NADPH
The fluid surrounding the chloroplast is called? This is also where the Calvin cycle occurs
Stroma
diffusion
What is the final product of the Calvin Cycle? How many molecules will be produced?
G3P; 1
What does light do when it strikes the chlorophyll molecules of photosynthesis 1 and 2?
Light causes electrons to get excited and travel down an ETC embedded in the thylakoid membrane.
Which cells are most responsible for doing photosynthesis?
Palisade Mesophyll
What is the name of the electron carrier used in the light dependent reaction
NADPH
What is the organic compound that is formed from the Calvin Cycle?
glucose
What happens during the reduction stage of the Calvin Cycle?
Enzyme Rubisco attaches CO2 to RuBP, causing the formation of molecules of 3-phosphoglycerate.
What is the name for a stack of thylakoids?
granum.
What are the two products that are produced from the light-dependent reaction? They will also be used in The Calvin Cycle for organic compound production.
ATP and NADPH
Only 1 molecule of G3P will leave the Calvin Cycle. What are the other 5 molecules of G3P used for?
Regeneration
After electrons get excited by light a second time at photosystem 1. Where do they go?
They travel down a second electron transport chain and are donated to NADP+ which becomes NADPH
