Q

light energy must first be __________.

19
Q

photosynthetic pigments are

A

light absorbing molecules

20
Q

chloroplasts:

A

photosynthetic organelles
where photosynthesis takes place

21
Q

where are chlorophyll pigments?

A

in the thylakoid membrane

22
Q

thylakoid:

A

sac like photosynthetic membranes

23
Q

granum:

A

stack of thylakoids

24
Q

chlorophyll absorbs ________________

25
when the chlorophyll absorbs light energy it causes
the electrons to become energized
26
compound that can accept a pair of high energy electrons and transfer them, along with most of their energy to another molecule
electron carrier: NADP+
27
how does NADP+ turn into NADPH
when NADP+ accepts and holds 2 high-energy electrons along with a hydrogen ion, it turns into NADPH
28
when NADP+ turns into NADPH some energy of sunlight is _____________.
trapped into chemical form
29
photosynthesis uses the energy of sunlight to:
convert water and carbon dioxide(reactants) into high-energy 6 carbon sugars and oxygen (products)
30
balanced photosynthesis equation:
6CO2+6H2O → C6H12O6+6O2 using the suns energy in the presence of chlorophyll
31
balanced photosynthesis equation using words:
six carbon dioxide molecules reacts with 6 water molecules using the suns energy in the presence of chlorophyll to produce one glucose molecule and 6 oxygen molecules
32
Light dependent reactions uses energy from the sun to make ______.
ATP
33
where do light dependent reactions take place?
in the thylakoid membranes
34
where do light independent reactions take place?
in the stroma outside the thylakoids
35
products of light dependent
oxygen and energy(ATP & NADPH)
36
reactants of light dependent
light(energy), water, NADP+, ADP+P
37
products of light independent
glucose, NADP+, ADP+P
38
reactants of light independent
carbon dioxide, ATP, NADPH
39
light dependent reaction uses energy from sunlight to produce oxygen and convert ______________ into the energy carriers____________
ADP & NADP+ ATP & NADPH
40
photosystem II:
clusters of chlorophyll and proteins in the thylakoid membrane
41
chemiosmosis
movement of the H+ ion across the membrane causes the ATP synthase to spin and bind a phosphate group to ADP to create ATP
42
light independent reaction:
ATP and NADPH produced in light dependent are used to create high energy sugars in the storma also known as Calvin cycle
43
Calvin cycle:
part of photosynthesis where plants use carbon dioxide, ATP, and NADPH to produce glucose and other organic molecules.
