The Reaction
What is a reactant of an equation?
The starting material that will be converted to products.
Photosynthesis occurs in which organelle of plant cells?
Chloroplast
What is taken in by the plant for the light cycle?
Water (light)
What is taken in by the plant for the Calvin Cycle.
Carbon Dioxide
What do you call organisms that make their own food?
Autotrophs
What is the formula for glucose?
C6H12O6
This is the primary pigment involved in photosynthesis
Chlorophyll
What is the function of chlorophyll?
To trap/absorb light
How many turns of the Calvin Cycle must occur to make glucose?
6
In what part of the plants does photosynthesis occur?
The leaves
What are the three reactants of photosynthesis?
Water, Carbon Dioxide, Light
What is the waste product of the light cycle?
oxygen
What happens during Carbon Fixation?
Carbon Dioxide gets attached to RuBP
DAILY DOUBLE!!
What three substances must be supplied to the Light Independent Reaction?
ATP, carbon dioxide, and NADPH
What are the products of photosynthesis?
Oxygen and Glucose
What is a stack of thylakoids called?
Granum/grana
What are the two purposes of the light cycle?
To recharge ADP to make ATP and recharge NADP+ by adding hydrogen from water to make NADPH.
What happens during Reduction?
Carbons and oxygens get dropped off by RuBP and H's are attached from NADPH.
What is the purpose of ATP and NADPH?
To provide energy (and H's) for the Calvin Cycle.
What is the chemical equation for Photosynthesis. Include the all the numbers.
6 CO2 + 6 H20 + Light--> C6H12O6 + 6 O2
What color is NOT absorbed by plants?
Green (purple, too)
What is produced in the Light Dependent Reaction?
Oxygen, ATP, NADPH
What happens during Regeneration?
RuBP is put back together to begin the cycle again.
What is the reactant of photosynthesis that provides hydrogen needed for glucose?
Water
