Q

What are three factors that affect the rate at which photosynthesis occurs

A

Temperature – increases with temperature
Carbon dioxide – increases with increased in carbon dioxide concentration
Light energy – requires energy which is obtained from light

What is the Lemela

A

Stick like structure that connects the thylakoids together

16
Q

Where is the site of photosynthesis

A

Chloroplasts

17
Q

What is the stroma

A

The stroma is the liquid that sells the site of photosynthesis (chloroplast)

18
Q

What occurs during cellular respiration

A

Plants break down sugars during cellular respiration for food for themselves

19
Q

How does the overall reaction for photosynthesis compared to the overall reaction for cellular respiration

A

It is the reverse of the overall reaction for cellular respiration
Mirrored

20
Q

21
Q

The light reaction takes place in the

A

Thylakoids

22
Q

Calvin cycle takes place in the

A

Stroma

23
Q

Happens to watermelon kills in the light reactions

A

What are molecules are split to get electrons ions and oxygen gas

24
Q

What to products of the light reactions are used up in the Calvin cycle

A

ATP and NADPH

25
Q

What happens to carbon dioxide molecules in the Calvin cycle reactions

A

Carbon dioxide molecules are combined with each other and with the electrons from NADPH to form glucose

26
Q

How can cells store sugar that is produced in photosynthesis

A

It is stored as starch
