Photosynthesis 1
The process that uses energy from the sun to make food from water and carbon dioxide.
What is photosynthesis?
The energy molecule (carbohydrate) produced from photosynthesis .
What is a glucose?
Things that get or find their own food.
What is a heterotroph?
Left side (before the arrow) in a chemical equation.
What is reactants?
Right side (after the arrow) in a chemical equation.
What is products?
The pigment that absorbs and stores the energy of sunlight.
What is chlorophyll?
Photosynthesis uses light energy, carbon dioxide, and ______ to produce oxygen and sugar.
What is water?
The plant cell parts (organelles) known as food factories.
What are chloroplasts?
Producers that make their own food.
What is an autotroph?
Where do light independent reactions take place
Stroma
What is the photosynthetic PIGMENT that absorbs blue-violet and red light :
Chlorophyll
What are the two key energy carrying molecules produced during light dependent reactions
ATP and NADPH
Photosynthesis takes place in these cell parts.
What are chloroplasts?
When we eat food, our body gets ________ from the sugars stored in the food.
What is energy (ATP)?
Where do Light dependent reactions take place
Thylakoids
An organism that uses a primary energy source (like light) to conduct photosynthesis
What is a producer/autotroph?
The formula for photosynthesis.
What is 6H2O + 6CO2 → 6O2 + C6H12O6?
The reactants in photosynthesis are?
What are carbon dioxide, water, and sunlight?
How is energy released from ATP
a phosphate group is removed from ATP converting into ADP giving off energy
What are 3 factors that affect the rate of photosynthesis
Water
Light
temperature
The tiny pores in the bottom of leaves that take in carbon dioxide from the air.
What are stomates?
In experiment 1, leaf discs floated to the top of the beaker when exposed to light due to the production of __________.
What is oxygen?
What process occurs in the light dependent reactions
electron transport chain
What process occurs in the light independent reactions
Calvin Cycle- converts Carbon dioxide to Glucose
Can autotrophs survive without heterotrophs
No, Decomposers are needed to return nutrients back to the earth to grow again.
