Process by which autotrophs use sunlight, water and carbon dioxide to produce carbohydrates and oxygen is called __________________.
Photosynthesis
Describe the role of ATP (Adenosine triphosphate) in cellular activities
ATP is a compound that cells use to store and release energy
What is an autotroph?
What is a heterotroph?
Living thing that gets food by making it. ( i.e. Plants)
Living thing that gets food by consuming other living things.
Explain where plants get the energy they need to produce food
From the sun through photosynthesis
How is a partially charged battery like ATP?
both have potential to store and release energy
Why do cells contain only a small amount of ATP?
A- ATP cannot store large amounts of energy for a long time
B- ATP releases energy too quickly
C- ATP cannot carry out active transport
D- ATP has only two phosphate groups
???
An organism that directly uses sunlight for energy is called an autotroph or heterotroph?
Autotroph
An organism that consumes other living things to get energy is called an autotroph or a heterotroph?
Heterotroph
Which is capable of photosynthesis an autotroph or a heterotroph?
Autotroph
The primary difference between structures of ATP and ADP is that ATP has ___________ phosphate groups and ADP has ________ phosphate groups.
- 2.
When ATP is changed to ADP it releases ____________.
Energy
Describe the role of light and pigments in photosynthesis
????
Explain the role of electron carrier molecules in photosynthesis
????
State the overall equation for photosynthesis
Water and carbon dioxide taken into plant. Acted upon by light.
In plants, photosynthesis takes place in the chloroplasts. T/F
true
Where do light independent reactions occur?
Thylakoids. Or. Stroma
Stroma
Where do the light-dependent reactions occur?
thylakoids. Or. Stroma
Thylakoids
The function of chlorophyll is A- protect a plant from losing water B- help plant absorb oxygen C- protect the plant cell D- capture energy from the sun
D- capture energy from the sun
Which reactions change the energy of sunlight to energy rich carriers?
Light dependent reactions. Or. Light independent reactions
Light dependent reactions.
Which two reactants are needed for light dependent reactions?
Carbon dioxide. Light. Oxygen. Water
Carbon dioxide and water. (Acted upon by the light)
Which two reactants are needed for light independent reactions?
Carbon dioxide. Energy-rich compounds. Oxygen. Stroma
????????
Describe what happens during light dependent reactions
Carbon dioxide and water taken in and acted upon by light to ________________________.
Explain what happens during light independent reactions
???????
Identify factors that affect the rate at which photosynthesis occurs?
???????
