Q

The space between inner and outer membranes. It is the region between the inner membrane and the outer membrane of a mitochondrion or a chloroplast. Its main function is nucleotide phosphorylation.

Q

Its important roles are in signal transduction, protein import, lipid biosynthesis and remodeling, exchange of ions and numerous metabolites, plastid division, movement, and host defense.

13
Q

It separates the stroma from
the intermembrane space. It fills the role of the
inner mitochondrial membrane in electron
transport and the chemiosmotic generation of
ATP the inner membrane is impermeable to ions and metabolites, which are therefore able to enter chloroplast inly via specific membrane
transporters.

Q

it increase the efficiency of
photosynthesis by keeping grana at a distance so that they do not clutter together. They are also known as stroma thylakoids. They ensure
maximum energy from sunlight is captured in
photosynthesis

Q

LIGHT REACTIONS OF PHOTOSYNTHESIS ARE
PERFORMED IN __________ WHILE DARK
REACTIONS ARE PERFORMED IN THE __________

A

Granum, Stroma

17
Q

Factors affecting photosynthesis

A

Chlorophyll, sunlight, water, carbon dioxide

18
Q

In plants, photosynthesis generally takes place in leaves, which consist of several layers of cells:

A

Epidermis, mesophyll, veins

19
Q

is the outer layer of the cells
covering the leaf

A

Epidermis

20
Q

a thin layer a top the epidermis

A

Waxy cuticle

21
Q

is involved in photosynthesis by allowing sunlight to penetrate through its layer.
- Cell contains no chloroplast

A

Upper epidermis

22
Q

is the primary location of
Photosynthesis in the plant

A

Mesophyll

23
Q

where photosynthesis mostly occur
- Its cell contains a lot of chloroplast.
- Cells are completely packed together.
- Only found in the upper part of the
leaf

A

Palisade mesophyll

24
Q

its cells are not as closely packed as the cells in the palisade mesophyll layer.
- Creates air space inside the leaf to
enables the gases to move in and out
- Not as many chloroplast
- Photosynthesis still occurs in the spongy
mesophyll layer.

A

Spongy mesophyll layer

25
Q

This is the bottom layer of the leaf and is a one cell thick.
- May/ may not contain a cuticle
- Holes can be found in leaves
called stomata; allow gases to diffuse in and out of the leaves.

A

Lower epidermis

26
Q

The stomata formed by 2 highly specialized epidermis cells, called

A

Guard cells

27
Q

provide the transport of materials in the leaf.
 Carries water, minerals, and food through the leaf and rest of the plant.

A

Veins

28
Q

Two parts of Vein-leaf structure

A

Xylem and Phloem

29
Q

water and mineral transport.

A

Xylem

30
Q

sugar and food transport

A

Phloem

31
Q

 It is an organic molecule that absorbs
light
 It is found in chloroplast of plant cell.
 In plants, it gives the leaves, flowers and
fruits their colors.

A

Pigments

32
Q

Type of pigment that plays a crucial role in
converting light energy to chemical
energy

A

Chlorophyll a

33
Q

Types of pigment that is present in plants, green algae and some cyanobacteria

A

Chlorophyll b

34
Q

Type of pigment that is found in diatoms, dinoflagellates and brown algae

A

Chlorophyll c

35
Q

Type of pigment that is present only in red algae

A

Chlorophyll d

36
Q

 It gives plants yellow, red or orange
pigment
 It is known as accessory pigment.

A

Carotenoids

37
Q

 It is found in the vacuole of plant cell.
 Most common flavonoids: Anthocyanin
(gives red pigment)
 Anthocyanin is found in petals, fruits,
stems, and leaves

A

Flavonoids

38
Q

Three main stages of dark independent reaction/ calvin cycle

A

Carbon fixation, reduction and regeneration

39
Q

Three factors can limit the rate of
photosynthesis:

A

light intensity, carbon dioxide concentration and temperature
