| Photosynthesis (Basics) | ||
| #1 | What is the formula for photosynthesis? | 6CO+6H20--->C6H12O6+6O2 |
| #2 | What type of organism uses photosynthesis? | Autotrophs |
| #3 | What are the two stages of photosynthesis? | Calvin cycle and light dependent reaction |
| #4 | What are the products of photosynthesis? | Glucose and oxygen |
| #5 | What does the Cycle cycle produce? | ADP+NADP |
| Organelles for Photosynthesis | ||
| #1 | Where does photosynthesis take place? | Chloroplast (leaves) |
| #2 | What can be found inside the chloroplast? | Chlorophyll |
| #3 | What color does the chlorophyll reflect? | Green |
| #4 | The chlorophyll is know as a? | Pigment |
| #5 | What are several thylakoids called? | Granum |
| Energy | ||
| #1 | Where is the light energy temporarily stored? | Inorganic energy carriers (ATP+NADPH) |
| #2 | How do cells store energy? | By adding a phosphate group to ADP |
| #3 | What does light reaction produce? | ATP+NADPH |
| #4 | What does ATP stand for? | Adenine Triphosphate |
| #5 | Differentiate between ATP and ADP. | ATP-three phos. groups, ADP-two phos. groups |
| Pigments | ||
| #1 | What is a pigment? | A light absorbing compound |
| #2 | What pigment is involved in photosynthesis? | Chrlorophyll |
| #3 | What colors do our eyes reflect? | Green and yellow |
| #4 | What do pigments do? | Absorbs lights, and reflects other wave lenghts of light |
| #5 | The colors our eyes see are... | The colors the pigment reflects |
| Bioenergetic Notes | ||
| #1 | How does ATP convert to ADP? | By breaking the bond between the second and third phosphate group |
| #2 | What is an autotroph? | Organisms that use light energy from the sun to produce food |
| #3 | What energy do cells use? | ATP |
| #4 | How is energy released? | Bonds are broken |
| #5 | Provide two specific examples of heterotrophs (use notes) | Animals and microorganisms |
| Final Question | |
| Why can't humans perform photosynthesis? | Humans do not have chloroplasts, and are not autotrophs |
