Ch. 9: Photosynthesis: Capturing Light Energy Flashcards
(32 cards)
what is the formula for it
6CO2 + 12 H2O + light energy –> C6H12O6 + 6O2 + 6H2O
how many wavelength types
two: long and short
__ wavelengths have __ energy (tv/radio/microwaves)
long; low
_- wavelengths have _- energy (uv; x-ray; gamma rays)
short; high
__ measure wavelength
nanometers
__ is composed of small particles (packets of light energy called __-)
light; photons
when a photon hits an atom, it __ and is __ by an electron trasporter
makes energy/emit; accepted
__ is not in all plants and have 2 membranes
cholorplast
__ have mitochondrias
plants
__ is the __ of chloroplasts
stroma; cytoplasm
__ is a flat membrane sac found in the stroma
thylakoid (where almost evrything takes place)
_- is found inside the chloroplast
stroma
__ is a green pigment and the main pigmen tof photosynthesis
chlorophyll
__ is an accesory pigment
carotenoids
__ dependednt rxn take place where
light; thylakoid (h2o in, it is split, and o2 goes out)
_- reactions take place in stroma
co2 fixations (co2 in; carbs out) (energy is transferred from atp to nadph molecules produced by light dep. rxn to chemical bonds on carbs)
adp to atp
phosphorylation
nadp+ t nadph
reduction
atp to adp d
dephosphorylation
nadph to nadp+
oxidation
fixation means
to make something usuable
o2 in, co2 out
humans
co2 in, o2 out
plants
what is the electron transporter in photosyn
nadp+
