(141 cards)
What are the reactants of photosynthesis?
6H2O + 6CO2
What are the products of photosynthesis?
C6H12O6 + 6O2 (byproduct)
What is the energy source for photosynthesis?
Sun light
Light is the result of a(n) ______ traveling in the pattern of a(n) _______.
Photons, wavelength
Where in the chloroplast does the light INDEPENDENT reaction occur?
Stroma
Where in the chloroplast does the light DEPENDENT reaction occur?
Thylakoids
What is the biological function of a stomata?
Allows for gas exchange
Why did chlorophyll A move the least amount along the chromatography paper?
Because it had a higher molecular weight
What is the function of the cuticle (waxy layer that surrounds leaf)?
Protects the leaf
PICTURE IDENTIFY THE PORTION OF THE MODEL WHERE MESOPHYLL CELL (PALISADE)
Mesophyll Cell — Palisade
What is the primary pigment used by photosynthesis?
Chlorophyll A
What is the ecological role of photosynthesis?
To convert light energy into chemical energy (food)
What is the purpose of phenol red pH indicator used to detect the presence of CO2 in water?
CO2 combined with water forms carbonic acid - phenol red turns yellow in an acidic solution and red in a basic solution - so when plants take up the CO2, the solution becomes more basic.
What is the net photosynthetic equation?
6 CO2 + 6 H2O —> C6H12O6 + 6 O2
What (supposedly) happened to CO2 levels in the containers full of germinated beans?
CO2 is a product that was released and is supposed to be reused in cellular respiration.
What molecule is the chief product of cellular respiration?
ATP
What is the cellular respiration equation?
C6H12O6 + 6O2 —> 6 H2O + 6 CO2 —- the breakdown of glucose to form ATP
Define Aerobic Respiration
the breakdown of glucose using O2 to form ATP by the 3 pathways of glycolysis, krebs cycle, and electron transport chain
What organic molecule is being split during the process of glycolysis?
Glucose
What element is known as the final hydrogen/electron acceptor?
O2
Where in the cell does glycolysis occur?
Cytoplasm
PICTURE************** Name the internal portion of the structure labled A.
Matrix
What occurs within the matrix of the mitochondria?
The Krebs Cycle
What is the name of the fold of the membrane within the mitochondria?
Cristae
