|
What is the purpose of photosynthesis? |
To transfer E from sunlight to make high E glucose from low E water and a carbon dioxide building blocks |
|
|
What is the light energy that powers photosynthesis? |
Sunlight |
|
|
Where does photosynthesis take place? |
In chloroplasts |
|
|
What is this an image of? |
Chloroplast |
|
|
What is chlorophyll? |
A green pigment used to absorb sunlight |
|
|
What is the molecular formula for photosynthesis? |
Carbon dioxide+water---light--> sugars+ oxygen |
|
|
Which molecules are high and low in photosynthesis? |
High: light, sugars Low: carbon dioxide, water, oxygen |
|
|
Where do the raw materials enter in a plant? |
Roots, chlorophyll, central vein |
|
|
What factors affect the rate of photosynthesis? |
Co2 intake, amount of light, light color (this makes it slower or go at the same rate, if it stopped it-the plant would die) |
|
|
What is the basic purpose of leaf tissue layers and xylem and phloem in the roots? |
The layers protect the plant and have different functions that help creat the process of photosynthesis by collecting and releasing the products. |
|
|
What are the two main process called of photosynthesis? |
Light dependent stage and light independent stage |
|
|
what are the inputs and outputs of the light independent stage |
light+water=oxygen |
|
|
what are the inputs and outputs of the light dependent stage |
carbon dioxide=sugars |
|
|
how does changing certain variables affect photosynthesis |
it may slow it down or possibly speed it up |
|
|
how is mass conserved in the process of photosynthesis |
the water and nutrients the plants collect are not only used to create photosynthesis but are also used to help growth |
|
|
what does the xylem do |
gets water |
|
|
what does the phloem do |
get the food |
|
|
what does the light dependent stage do |
transfers energy from light to energy carriers and ATP and ADP |
|
|
what does the light independent stage do |
it "fixes" carbon and creates high E glucose using the energy transferred from the light dependent stage products |
|
|
what is the concept of limiting factor? |
by limiting a certain factor for photosynthesis it may slow or cause an unbalance to the plant(s) |
|
|
where does glycolysis occur? |
cytoplasm |
|
|
where does the krebs cycle occur |
mitochondria |
|
|
where does the electron transfer train take place |
inner mitochondrial membrane |
|
|
what is ATP when it is uncharged |
ADP |
|
|
why are plants green |
they cant absorb green light so they reflect it |
|
|
where does anaerobic respiration |
it occurs in environments with little oxygen |
|
|
what is anabolic |
build up |
|
|
what is catabolic |
break down |
