What form of energy is used to drive photosynthesis?

(sun)light

What are the three components of an ATP molecule?

Adenine, ribose, and phosphate

main product of photosynthesis

glucose

in the first stage of photosynthesis what gas molecule is released?

oxygen

waste product of photosynthesis

oxygen

name somewhere co2(carbon dioxide) comes from?

people, animals

process by which sunlight is used to make food

photosythiss

steps of Calvin cycle (Light independent cycle)

- Atp goes to the calvin cycle - Nadph goes to calvin cycle - CO₂ comes into the leaf from the air - C6h12o6, glucose is made (Red: needed by plant Green: made by plant)

steps of Photosynthesis (light dependent reaction)

- Sunlight shares on plant leaves - Plant uses wavelengths of visible light except green - Sunlight excites electrons in chlorophyll - Energy in electrons is used to make atp - Water is spilt to return to chlorophyll - Oxygen from the water is released into air - H(ydrogen) is added to NADP to make is NADPH

4 major accomplishments of photosynthesis

1. Glucose is produced 2. Oxygen released 3. light energy is converted to chemical energy 4. carbon dioxide is reduced

during the light reactions what two things are produced?

ATP and NADPH

Where is the energy stored in ATP?

Between the phosphate groups

Write the word equation for photosynthesis.

Carbon dioxide + water yelds glucose and oxygen in the presence of light

What form of energy is sunlight converted into?

Chemical energy

what stage is energy from sunlight is stored in ATP?

Light reaction

name a molecule that carries hydrogen to calvin cycle?

NADPH

Where does the oxygen released during photosynthesis come from

The splitting of water during light depended reaction b/c the plant takes the hydrogen from h2o and releases the oxygan

why are plants green?

bc the plant uses wavelengths of visible light but leaves out the green

stage of photosynthesis in which glucose is made?

calvin cycle

stage 2 of photosynthesis is called the?

calvin cycle (light independent reaction)

what are the 2 main functions of chloroplasts?

capture light energy and make chloroplast

what 3 things are used to make glucose in photosynthesis?

carbon dioxide, water, light energy

what molecule is needed in the calvin cycle?

carbon dioxode

green pigment

chlorophll

What is the name of the molecule that captures this energy?

chlorophyll

what is the primary pigment found in chloroplast?

chlorophyll

Where in the plant does photosynthesis take place?

chloroplast

what is the organelle where photosynthesis takes place?

chloroplast

during the first stage of photosynthesis what are excited?

electrons

during the calvin cycle what is produced?

glucose

what is produced in photosynthesis?

glucose

the first stage of photosynthesis is called?

light dependent reaction

What happens in each of the two phases of photosynthesis?

light dependent- captures light energy light independent- making of glucose

what type of energy dose the plant use to convert co2 and h2o into sugar?

light evergy

ATP

molecule that stores energy for cells

where do we get the air we breath?

plants

where the light independent reaction takes place.

stroma

what is needed to excite electrons?

sunlight

How are the light dependent and light independent reactions linked?

the light independent reaction needs atp, energy, and nadph from the light dependent reaction

what is photosynthesis?

the process by which sunlight energy is used by plants to make glocose

why do leaves appear green?

they reflect green light

where light energy is captured (light dependent reaction)

thylakoids
