what the difference between Hetrotrophs and autotrophs
Autotraphs make there own food and hetrotrophs get food by eating plants and grasses
Van Helmont's experiment
concluded that trees get most of there mass from water
What is located in Chloroplast's Structure
contains a grana, Thylakoids, Stroma , and the stroma is outside of the thylakids
Grana
Thylakoids are interconnected and arranged in stacks known as grana. They look like hamburger patties stacked
Thylakoids
sac like photosynthetic membranes located in the chloraplast
Stroma
the fluid portion of the chlorplast outside the thylakoids
location of light dependent reactions
thylakoids membrane
ATP and ADP's roles in photosynthesis
Like dependent reaction use energy from sunlight to produce oxygen and convert ADP and NADPH into the enery carriers ATP and NADPH
Products and Biproducts of light independent reactions/ Calvin Cycle
trapped the energy of sunlight in chemical form and produce stable, high energy sugars from carbon dioxide and water
Products and byproducts of light dependent reactions
they produce oxygen gas and convert ADP and NADP+ into energy carriers ATP and NADPH
Path of the flow of electrons in light dependent reactions
the high energy are passed through the electron transport train. as electrons are lost new electrons come from water molecules.
What is waters role in photosynetesis
one of the most important factors. Shortage of water can slow or even stop photosynthesis
What is Heterotroph? List an example
organism that obtains food by consuming other living things; also called a consumer. An example is a cheetah who eats other plant eating animals, or animals that eat plants, and lastly a mushroom that absorbs decomposing organisms.
WHat is Autograph? List an example
organism that is able to capture energy from sunlight or chemicals and use it to produce its own food from inorganic compounds; also called a producer. Examples : algae, plants and some bacteria use sunlight to produce food
ATP stands for what? and what is it?
adenosine triphosphate. It is a compound used by cells to store and release energy
The process in which autographs use sunlight to produce high energy carbohydrates is called?
Photosynthesis
What is the difference between ADP and ATP?
ATP has three phosphate groups and ADP has only two
Organisms that make their own food are called?
autotrophs
Energy is released upon the conversion of
ATP to ADP
One way cells use the energy provided by ATP is to do what?
carry out active transport
WHy are mushrooms considered heterotrophs instead of autotrophs?
Mushrooms eat by absorbing decomposing nutrients from the ground organisms
What is the light-absorbing molecules used by plants to gather the sun’s energy?
Pigment
WHat is the principal pigment of plants and other photosynthetic organisms
Chlorophyll
What are the ORGANELLE found in cells of plants and some other organisms that captures the energy from sunlight and converts it into chemical energy
chloroplast
The reactants of photosynthesis are?
CO2 and H2O
Chlorophyll moelcules are located in the ?
thylakoid membranes
Photosynthesis takes place inside organelles called
chloroplasts
The electrons carried by NADPH are similar to a hot potato in that both....
have a lot of energy and require a carrier to be transported
What would happen to a healthy green leaf that was covered with aluminum foli>
The leaf would lose it green color due to breakdown of chlorophyll in the leaf
The light dependent reactions uses energy from sunlight to produce?
ADP and NADP+ into the energy CARRIERS ATP and NAPH
Where does the locations of the light-dependent reactions take place?
Inside of the Thylakoid
What does the light dependent reaction generate?????
ATP and NADPH
Inside of the thlylakoids there are clusters of _______ and _______
Chlorophyll and prootein
What is the reactions of photosynthesis are made possible by enzyme that function at what temperature?
0-35 Celius
What is the role of NADP+ and NADPH in photosynthesis?
(Mitt) NADP+ is a transporter and picks up high energy electrons. As a result it is converted to NADPH
What is the role of Carbon Dioxide in photosynthesis
Carbon dioxide enters the Calvin Cycle through the atmosphere and enzyme combines with carbon dioxide and produces 3 carbon compounds into higher energy forms for the rest of the cycles
What is water role in photosynthesis?
Water combined with carbon dioxide produces high energy sugars when chemical energy is used to combine with light energy reactions.
What is the cycle called that light-independent reactions of photosynthesis in which energy from ATP & ADPH is used to build high energy compounds such as sugar
Calvin Cycle
Why are plants green?
The chlorophyll in the plant cell reflects the green light, which is why plants look green.
Where is chlorophyll located in the chloroplast?
In the thylakoid membrane
