Vocabulary
Describe the phenomena of photosynthesis
When using light energy to make sugars from carbon dioxide (C02) and water (H20).
What are the input of photosynthesis
Light, water, and carbon dioxide
The Calvin cycle takes place in the
stroma
Most plants appear green bcause chlorophyll
does not absorb green light
Describe the phenomena of transpiration
The loss of water vapor through the stomata of leaves.
What our outputs of carbon photosynthesis
Glucose (sugar), oxygen and water.
The Calvin cycle is anothr name for the
light-independent reactions
What is the waste product of photosynthesis that plants give off
Oxygen
Describe the phenomna of cellular respiration
A metabolic pathway that breaks down glucose and produces ATP.
What happens during photosynthesis
Autotrophs produce carbohydrats
What is the process through which the majority of ATP is produced
Respiration
What is the function of NADP in photosynthesis
Electron carrier
Pigments
What is the relationship with carbon dioxide and photosynthesis
Inorder for photosynthesis to occure you need carbon dioxide
Energy is released from ATP when
A phosphate is removed
Where do the light-dependent reactions take place
within the thylakoid membranes
Organisms, such as plants that make their own food are called
Autotrophs
What is the relationship between light and photosynthesis
Light energy is the energy source of photosynthesis in plants, but plants absorb different amounts of light at different wavelengths, and their photosynthetic products are different.
What are the three parts of an ATP moleculee
Adenine, ribose, and three phosphate groups
What is an example of a carrier molecule
NADP
