Chapter 7

Question 1

captures light energy from the sun and converts it to chemical energy stored in sugars and other organic molecules

Answer 1

photosynthesis

Question 2

equation for photosynthesis

Answer 2

water + carbon dioxide + light energy -> glucose + oxygen

Question 3

carbon dioxide enters plants through

Answer 3

pores in the leaf called stomata

Question 4

photosynthesis occurs in

Answer 4

chloroplasts

Question 5

structure of chloroplast

Answer 5

stroma, thylakoid membrane, grana, inner and outer membranes

Question 6

where are chlorophyl molecules embedded

Answer 6

inner thylakoid membrane

Question 7

what is the primary function of plant pigments

Answer 7

absorb solar energy

Question 8

why are leaves green

Answer 8

chlorophyll molecules absorb violet-blue and red ligh but reflect or transmit green-yellow light

Question 9

process of light dependent reactions

Answer 9

chlorphyll absorbs solar energy and ejects an electron, which is passed down an electron transport chain and water is split releasing O2

Question 10

requirements for light dependent reactions

Answer 10

H20, ADP, and NADP+

Question 11

products of light reactions

Answer 11

O2, and the energy storing compounds ATP and NADH

Question 12

what is fixed during the calvin cycle

Answer 12

carbon dioxide

Question 13

what is the product of the calvin cycle

Answer 13

G3P which can be used to make glucose

Question 14

is an adaptation fro hot and dry weather

Answer 14

C4 photosynthesis

Question 15

examples of C4 plants

Answer 15

corn, sugar cane

Question 16

what process stores energy in the form of glucose

Answer 16

photosynthesis

Question 17

what process releases energy from glucose

Answer 17

cellular respiration
