THYLAKOID
|
a baglike photosynthetic membrane found in chloroplasts
|
|
|
STROMA
|
the liquid-filled space surrounding the thylakoids in chloroplasts
|
|
|
NADP+
|
one of the molecules that accepts high-energy electrons from chlorophyll and carries them to other molecules during photosynthesis
|
|
|
LIGHT-DEPENDENT REACTION
|
a reaction of photosynthesis that uses light energy to make ATP and NADPH
|
|
|
LIGHT-INDEPENDENT REACTION
|
a reaction of photosynthesis that uses ATP, NADPH, and carbon dioxide to make high-energy sugars
|
|
|
What role do pigments play in the process of photosynthesis?
|
Living things that carry out photosynthesis use pigments to get energy from sunlight.
|
|
|
What are electron carrier molecules:
|
Electron carrier molecules are compounds that can transfer a pair of high-energy electrons, along with most of their energy, to another molecules.
|
|
|
What are the reactants and products of photosynthesis:
|
Photosynthesis uses light energy to change water and carbon dioxide (reactants) into sugars and oxygen (products).
|
|
|
light independent reactions.
|
The set of reactions that takes place in the stroma
|
|
|
NADP+
|
The light dependent reactions need NADP+ a carrier molecule that is able to accept high-energy electrons and a hydrogen ion.
|
|
|
Describe the overall process of photosynthesis. Include the reactants and the products.
|
b. In symbols: 6CO2 + 6H2O→(light) C6H12O6 + 6O2
c. In words: Carbon dioxide + Water →(light) Sugars + Oxygen d. Plants use the sugars from photosynthesis to make other carbohydrates, such as starches. e. The sugars are also used to make other compounds, such as proteins and lipids. f. Photosynthesis uses light energy to change water and carbon dioxide (reactants) into sugars and oxygen (products). |
