Photosynthesis |
Is a process whereby plants, algae and certain bacteria transform light energy into chemicals energy using carbon dioxide and water. |
Is an end endergonic reaction.Photo |
|
Photosynthesis |
Converts carbon dioxide and water into glucose and oxygen using sunlight. |
|
|
Epidermis |
Upper and lower surface of the leaf. |
|
|
Cuticle |
Waxy, waterproof covering that reduces the evaporation of water from the leaf |
Starts with a C |
|
Stomata |
Opening in the surface of the leaf that allows gases and water to pass into and out of the leaf |
|
|
Mesophyll cells |
“ middle leaf” these cells contain the majority of the chloroplasts |
|
|
Vascular bundles or veins |
Supply water and mineral to the minerals to the mesophyll cells and carry the sugar they produce. |
|
|
Chloroplasts |
Double membrane organelle |
|
|
Stroma |
the liquid portion of the chloroplast where light independent reaction occurs |
Sugar is produced |
|
Thylakoid membrane |
an interconnecting membrane inside the chloroplasts where the light dependent reactions occur. |
|
|
Photons |
Package of light energy ROYGBIV |
|
|
Short Wavelength |
Have high energy |
|
|
Long wavelength |
Have low energy |
|
|
Chlorophyll a |
Reflects green light, absorbs blue and violet light. Directly involved in photosynthesis |
|
|
Chloroplasts b |
Reflects yellow-green light absorbs blue and orange light. Broadens the amount of light energy that can be used for photosynthesis. |
Broadens the amount of light energy that can be used for photosynthesis. |
|
Carotenoids |
Accessory pigment Protects our eyes from UV light Passes energy to Chlorophyll a |
|
|
Photosystems |
Are found in the thylakoid membrane and are composed of proteins, accessory pigment molecules and electron- carries molecules. |
|
|
Electron Transport System |
A series of elections carries molecules. |
|
|
Thylakoid membrane |
ATP and NADP are produced Water is split and oxygen is released. |
|
|
Light is ? |
absorbed , refleted or transmitted through the leaf. |
|
|
Light is absorbed by the following pigments |
Chlorophy II carotenoids phycocyanins |
|
|
Photosystems I and II |
PII-P680 PI-P700 |
|
|
ETS location |
Embedded within the thylakoid membranes of chloroplasts next to a light harvesting complex. Inner membrane of mitochondria. |
|
|
ETS functions |
extraction of energy from electrons and generation of ATP or ATP or other energetic molecules. |
|
|
Photolysis |
water is split and oxygen and electrons are released when light energy hits photosystems II. Photosystems II gets a replacement electron |
|
|
The lost electron from photosystem I ? |
is replace with an electron from the first ETS. |
|
|
In photosynthesis the chemiosmis production of ATP is called |
photophosphoryiaton |
|
|
In photosynthesis, the final electron acceptor ? |
is NAPH+ not oxyegn as in respiration |
|
|
Photolysis |
water is spilt |
|
|
____ and ____synthesized during the light dependent reactions are used to produced glucose from carbon dioxide and water in the stroma of the chloroplast. |
ATP and NADPH |
|
|
The capturing of carbon dioxide is called |
carbon fixation |
|
|
The stomata of plants not only allows gases to pass into or out of the leaf it also allows |
water to evaporate from the leaf. |
|
|
An enzyme that has a high affinity for CO2 combines with carbon dioxide to form what? |
oxaloacetate( carbon fixation) |
|
