Photosynthesis#1
What are the two reactions that occur in photosynthesis?
Light dependent reactions and Calvin cycle
Photosynthesis occurs in this organelle of plant cells
What are the products of Photosynthesis?
Glucose and oxygen
The organelle that breaks down food and provides energy for the cell.
mitochondria
What color is NOT absorbed by plants
Green
This is the primary pigment involved in photosynthesis
Chlorophyll
What is the function of chlorophyll?
To trap/absorb light
What is the chemical equation for Photosynthesis
(for all groups)
6CO2 + 6H20 --> C6H12O6 + 6O2
What is produced in the Light independent reaction
Sugar/ Glucose
What is the equation for Cellular Respiration
(for all groups)
C6H12O6+6O2-->6CO2+6H2O+Energy
oxygen
The three atoms that make up carbohydrate
Oxygen, Carbon & Hydrogen
What three substances must be supplied to the light independent reaction
ATP, carbon dioxide, and NADPH
Energy from sun is passed down the ________________and is stored in the bonds of ATP and NADPH
Electron Transport Chain
The reactants of the light reactions.
water and sunlight
Separation of molecules by light (splitting of water molecule by light)
photolysis
What is another name for Calvin cycle?
Light independent reactions or dark reactions
What two colors do plants absorb the most of
The Light Dependent Reaction creates what two forms of energy carrying molecule
ATP and NADPH
Reactants of photosynthesis that provides hydrogen needed for glucose
Water
