ATP
How many phosphate groups does a molecule of ATP have?
What is three phosphate groups?
What is the most common pigment stored in the chloroplast?
What is chlorophyll?
Where do the light reactions occur?
What is the thylakoid membrane
Where do the light-independent reactions occur?
What is the stroma?
How does ATP release energy? Draw this on the board.
What is when ATP breaks the phosphate bond between phosphates 2 and 3
Why is the pigment chlorophyll green?
What is chlorophyll absorbs all of the other colors of the visible spectrum except for green, which it reflects.
What is the reactant that enters into the light-dependent reactions?
What is water?
What is the reactant that enters into the light-independent reactions?
What is carbon dioxide?
How is ATP like a re-chargable battery?
What is ATP is fully charged, but when it expends energy it is only somewhat charged as ADP. The molecule cycles between being fully charged, somewhat charged, and then re-charges again.
What are the membrane enclosed sacs (individual pancake) where photosynthesis occurs?
What is a thylakoid?
Where in the cell (be specific) does solar energy pass down the ETC? Why must this step happen there?
What is thylakoid membrane because that’s where the chlorophyll is and chlorophyll is a pigment that can absorb solar energy?
What provides the energy source for the assembly of glucose in the Calvin Cycle?
what is ATP and NADPH?
What is the function of ATP in the light-independent reactions?
What is to power the Calvin cycle
Stacks of thylakoids are called what?
What is grana?
What provides the energy source for the Light-Dependent Reaction/ETC?
What is the sun?
Where does the H+ come from in order to produce C6H12O6?
What is it comes from the splitting of the H20 in the light- dependent reaction?
What is the structure of the ATP molecule?
What is an adenine group, ribose (5-carbon sugar) and three phosphate groups?
Why is it important that chloroplasts have a double membrane?
What is the double membrane provides insulation needed to retain the energy absorbed by sunlight?
What from the Light-Dependent Reaction moves on to the Light-Independent Reaction?
What is ATP, NADPH, H+?
What happens to ADP and NADP+ after they provide energy to power the light-independent reactions?
What is they cycle back to the thylakoid to be reused?
