Photosynthesis Flashcards
Basic types of cells/organelles (21 cards)
Raw materials required for photosynthesis
Enzymes Water from the soil Radiant energy from the sun Chlorophyll in chloroplast of green plants Water from the soil
All of the above mentioned
Were does photosynthesis takes place
Photosynthesis take place in the chloroplast
Name the processes of photosynthesis
Ligt phase and Dark phase
Define the function of a double membrane in the chloroplast
To allow water and oxygen to enter easily
Products for photosynthesis
Glucose and oxygen
Define the productof glucose in photosynthesis
Stored in the plants as starch
What does stroma consists of
Enzymes ,DNA,RNA and ribosomes
Briefly explain the process of photosynthesis
~During photosynthesis green plants use light radiant energy to manufacture food such as starch
And oxygen is given as a by product s
Where does the reaction of the light phase takes place
In the grana of the chloroplast which contains chlorophyll
What is the molecule that absorbs light when it comes to photosynthesis?
Chlorophyll
The energy it is used in two processes…briefly name those processes
~Water molecule are split into energy rich hydrogen atoms (which are transferred to the dark phase) and oxygen atoms (which are released into the atmosphere as gas).
The energy carrier in ATP is formed and used again in the dark phase
Where does the dark phase reaction takes place?
Stroma of a chloroplast
All reaction of the dark phase are controlled
What are they controlled by?
Enzymes
Why do hydrogen atoms combine with enzymes?
So that it can takes them to the dark phase
Define permeable
Allowing liquid or gases to pass through
Of a material or a membrane
What’s ATP?
and what does it stand for???
ATP is an energy carrier
Adenosine Tripho Sphate
Define photolysis
Decomposition or separating of molecules by the action of light
What does troph mean???
Feed
What does “auto” mean ?
Self
What does “hetero” mean?
Different
What does ‘ADP’ stand for??
Adenosine Diphosphate
