The organelle in which photosynthesis occurs.
What is chloroplasts?
A chemical that captures sunlight?
What are pigments?
The energy needed to start a reaction is called this.
What is activation energy?
Carbon Dioxide, Water
What are the inputs/reactants of photosynthesis?
What is the effect of planting more trees in an area?
Increased trees means that there is more photosynthesis occurring. More photosynthesis means there is more food for animals, which means that more animals can live.
True or False: All reactions require the same amount of ENERGY to get started.
What is false?
The place carbon dioxide comes from before entering the leaf.
What is the atmosphere?
After the reaction, the enzyme is _________.
What is re-useable?
The importance of photosynthesis
What is Photosynthesis converts sun energy into food, making energy available for plants and animals. It also makes Oxygen, which we need to breathe. It is required for Cellular Respiration.
True or False: All reactions use the same enzyme. Explain
What is false? There are different enzymes for different types of reactions. They fit together like a lock and key (enzyme substrate-complex).
Enzymes lowers activation energy & speeds something up. Another word for this is a ____________.
What is catalyst?
The chemical equation for photosynthesis
What is 6CO2 + 6O2 ---> C6H12O6 + 6 O2?
Describe the differences between a synthesis reaction and a hydrolysis reaction.
What is: synthesis is a building up reaction (2 substrates join into one) hydrolysis is a breaking down reaction involving water (1 substrate breaks into two)
Do the atoms that make up carbon dioxide, water, and sugar flow or cycle through a system, and what is it called?
What is the carbon cycle?
Describe the Lock and Key hypothesis using the terms substrate and enzyme. Which is the lock, which is the key?
What is Enzymes only react with certain substrates that match their shape correctly. Enzymes are the lock, substrates are the key.
