U2P1 Flashcards
sun
ultimate source of energy for most living things on earth
function of stomata in plants
take in co2 and release o2
photosynthesis
complex process by which co2 h20 and certain inorganic salts are converted into carbohydrates by green plants, algae, and certain bacteria, using energy from the sun and chlorophyll
photosynthesis equation
6CO2+6H20–> C6H1206+6CO2
which molecule does the oxygen produced in photosynthesis come from?
H2O
which molecule does each component of glucose come from
C-CO2
H- H2O
O- CO2 and H2O
what happens to glucose created in photosynthesis
some glucose is used in cellular reparation and some is converted into starch or cellulose for building plant structures
inputs of light reactions
water, light, ADP+P, e-carrier (NADP+
outputs of light reactions
O2, ADP, NADPH
Calvin cycle and puts
CO2, NADPH, ATP
Calvin cycle outputs
C6 H 1206, NADP +, ADP+P
autotroph
make their own food using a light or chemical energy
heterotroph
consume other organisms to get energy they need for life
where does photosynthesis occurs in a plant cell
chloroplasts
where does each part of photosynthesis occur
light reactions occur in the thylakoid membrane. The Calvin cycle occurs in the stroma
