| all interrelated biochemical process that take place in a living organism |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
| the process by which plants produce food using energy from the sun |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
| organisms that can make their own food |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
| depend on autotrophs to make their food, eat "other" organisms |
|
|
Term
| Three Types of Photosynthesis |
|
Definition
1. Plants (sunflowers)
2. Algae (giant kelp)
3. Cyanobacteria (bacteria) |
|
|
Term
| Where does photosynthesis take place in plants and algae? |
|
Definition
| chloroplasts in the plant leaf |
|
|
Term
| Which membrane absorbs energy from sunlight? |
|
Definition
|
|
Term
| What are the microscopic pores in which C02 enters and 02 exits from the leaf? |
|

Term
| How many chloroplasts does a typical mesophyll cell contain? |
|
Definition
|
|
Term
| Chloroplasts consist of what 2 primary parts? |
|
Definition
|
|
Term
|
Definition
| membrane bound sacs in stacks called grana |
|

Term
What percentage of all water is
absorbed by plants in photosynthesis? |
|
Definition
|
|
Term
| Water and Oxygen in photosynthesis |
|
Definition
Water- source of electrons
Oxygen- released as a by-product |
|
|
Term
| In what case would the stomata close during photosynthesis? |
|
Definition
-If water was in short supply or light intensities too high
- Thus reduces supply of carbon dioxide available for photosynthesis |
|
|
Term
ATP
(Adenosine triphosphate) |
|
Definition
-cellular energy molecule
-releases energy when bonds are broken
-supplies the energy for most of the activities of living things
*ATP BECOMES ADP* |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
-electron carrier molecule, carries electrons to and from various molecules
-have an empty and full state |
|
|
Term
| The Electron Carrier NAD+ |
|
Definition
1. The NAD+ within a cell, along with 2 hydrogen atoms that are part of the food that is supplying energy for the body
2. NAD+ is reduced to NAD by accepting an electron from a hydrogen atom. It also picks up another hydrogen atom to become NADH
3. NADH carries the electrons to a later stage of repiration then drops them off, becoming oxidized to its original form, NAD+ |
|
|
Term
| What are the 2 primary stages to photosynthesis? |
|
Definition
1. Light Reactions: sunlight is converted to energy, produces energy
2. Calvin cycle (Light Independent Reactions): carbon molecules are bound into sugar, requires energy |
