Q

What are three factors that affect the rate at which photosynthesis occurs

A

Temperature – increases with temperature
Carbon dioxide – increases with increased in carbon dioxide concentration
Light energy – requires energy which is obtained from light

Q

What is the Lemela

A

Stick like structure that connects the thylakoids together

16
Q

Where is the site of photosynthesis

17
Q

What is the stroma

A

The stroma is the liquid that sells the site of photosynthesis (chloroplast)

18
Q

What occurs during cellular respiration

A

Plants break down sugars during cellular respiration for food for themselves

19
Q

How does the overall reaction for photosynthesis compared to the overall reaction for cellular respiration

A

It is the reverse of the overall reaction for cellular respiration
Mirrored

20
Q

What plant pigments are involved in photosynthesis

A

Chlorophyll a, chlorophyll B

21
Q

The light reaction takes place in the

22
Q

Calvin cycle takes place in the

23
Q

Happens to watermelon kills in the light reactions

A

What are molecules are split to get electrons ions and oxygen gas

24
What to products of the light reactions are used up in the Calvin cycle
ATP and NADPH
25
What happens to carbon dioxide molecules in the Calvin cycle reactions
Carbon dioxide molecules are combined with each other and with the electrons from NADPH to form glucose
26
How can cells store sugar that is produced in photosynthesis
It is stored as starch
27
Define thylakoids
Small disc likes compartments composed of membranes that of the site of light dependent photosynthesis
