ATP & Photosynthesis Flashcards
When a phosphate is removed from ATP, energy is
released
When a phosphate is added to ADP, energy is ___ for cellular energy
stored
ATP has ____ phosphates
three
ADP has ___ phosphates
two
What are the buildings blocks of ATP in order?
Adenine
Ribose
Phosphate Group
What is the role of pigments?
Pigments in plants absorb light energy from the sun, which is used in photosynthesis to produce glucose and oxygen.
What energy molecules enter the Calvin cycle that were made in the light dependent reactions?
ATP & NADPH
What gas is required in the Calvin
chloroplast
Cycle?
Carbon Dioxide
What sugar is made in the calvin cycle?
Glucose
What is another name for the Calvin
Cycle?
Light independent reactions
Equation for photosynthesis
6CO2 + 6H2O + Sunlight/Light energy → C6H12O6 + 6O2.
Light Dependent Reactions - location in chloroplast
thylakoid
Light Dependent Reactions - reactants (inputs)
Water and sun light/light energy
Light Dependent Reactions - products (outputs)
Oxygen, ATP, NADPH
Light Independent Reactions - location in chloroplast
stroma
Light Independent Reactions - reactants (inputs)
Carbon Dioxide, ATP, NADPH
Light Independent Reactions - products (outputs)
Glucose (C6H12O6), ADP, NADP+
If you can see the color it is____

the pigment that absorbs light energy is____and turns it into ATP
chlorophyll
carbon dioxide and oxygen come in through the____
stomata
Where is chlorophyll?
In the thylakoid
Where does the “H” in NADPH come from?
H20 (water)
What is the chloroplast?
organelle in plant cells where photosynthesis take place
