Answer 1

Chloroplasts

Question 2

What are the two different reactions in Photosynthesis?

Answer 2

light-dependent and light-independent

Question 3

What is the main pigment responsible for gathering the sun’s energy during photosynthesis

Answer 3

Chlorophyll

Question 4

what is the chemical equation for photosynthesis?

Answer 4

6CO^2 + 6H^2O → C^6H^12O^6 + 6O^2.

Question 5

why do we need plants?

Answer 5

we cant make our own energy
and…
they are the first level of the food chain

where do light-dependent reactions take place in the chloroplast?

Answer 6

thylacoide

Question 6

what is the molecule that stores energy for the cells?

Answer 6

ATP

Question 7

what is the molecule that serves as a “carrier” for high energy electrons?

Answer 7

NADP+

Question 8

are plants the only organisms that can go through photosynthesis?

Answer 8

no because bacteria has this occur as well

Question 9

where do light-independent reactions take place in the chloroplast?

Answer 9

stroma

Question 9

Answer 10

oxygen and ATP

Question 11

what comes in light-dependent?

Answer 11

water and sunlight

Question 11

what is the stroma?

Answer 11

region outside the thylakoid membrane, where the light-independent reactions occur.

Question 11

what comes out of light-independent?

Answer 11

glucose sugar

Question 12

what comes in light-independent?

Answer 12

carbon dioxide and ATP

Question 13

autotroph

Answer 13

An organism that can make its own food

Question 14

heterotroph

Answer 14

An organism that gets its energy by eating other organisms

Question 15

reactants

Answer 15

The ‘inputs’ of a chemical reaction. Located on the left side of a chemical equation. (ie- the ingredients)

Question 16

products

Answer 16

The ‘outputs’ of a chemical reaction. Located on the right side of a chemical equation. (ie- whats made) (cake)

Question 17

stomata

Answer 17

Small openings on the underside of a leaf through which oxygen and carbon dioxide can move. Where gas exchange occurs in a plant.

Question 18

chlorophyll

Answer 18

Green pigment which ‘fills’ chloroplast. This pigment captures sunlight.

Question 18

photosynthesis

Answer 18

Conversion of light energy from the sun into chemical energy (stored in glucose).

Question 19

chloroplast

Answer 19

Double membrane-bound organelle that is the site where photosynthesis occurs.

Question 20

leaves job

Answer 20

Collect sunlight and contain the chloroplasts which produce food

Question 20

Photosynthesis Reactants

Answer 20

carbon dioxide, water, and sunlight

Question 20

Photosynthesis Products

Answer 20

oxygen and glucose

Question 21

Glucose (C6H12O6)

Answer 21

A simple sugar produced by plants through photosynthesis and used as food.

Question 21

Thylakoid

Answer 21

A flattened membrane sac inside the chloroplast, used to convert light energy into chemical energy through the light dependent stage

Question 22

Stroma

Answer 22

gel-like region outside the thylakoid membrane of the chloroplast where the light independent reaction occurs

Question 22

light-dependent reactions

Answer 22

1st part of photosynthesis that takes place in the thylakoid and that captures energy from sunlight.

Question 23

Light Independent Reactions (Calvin Cycle)

Answer 23

2nd stage of photosynthesis, occurs in stroma and produces glucose

Answer 26

Organisms that use light as a source of energy to create food

Question 26
