Chemosynthesis and photosynthesis
What is chlorophyll
A molecule that absorb some of the energy as visible light
What is chemosynthesis
A process by which some organisms use chemical energy instead of sunlight to make energy storing carbon-based molecules (food)
What is photosynthesis
A process that captures energy from sunlight to make sugars that store energy
What does Chemo and synthesis stand for
Chemo-chemical Synthesis-to make
What does light dependent reactions do
Chlorophyll captures energy from the sun
What is a thylakoid
Coin-shaped compartments
What is stroma
Fluid that surrounds the grana inside the chloroplast
What Are the products of photosynthesis equation
Glucose, oxygen, and chemical energy is made
Where is chlorophyll found
In a thylakoid
Where does photosynthesis occur
In the chloroplast
Where does the light independent reactions occur
In the stroma
Where does light dependent reactions occur
In thylakoids
Where can you find some chemosynthetic organisms
In very hot water near cracks in the ocean floor called hydrothermal vent
What are the two stages of photosynthesis
Light dependent reactions and light independent reactions
What is the photosynthesis equation
Light energy + 6H2O + 6CO2 yields C6H12O6 + 6O2 + chemical energy
What the energy transformation that occurs during photosynthesis
Light energy is converted to chemical energy
What are the reactants in the photosynthesis equation
Light energy, water and carbon dioxide
What does light independent reactions do
Make sugars
What does photo and synthesis stand for
Photo-light synthesis-to make
What does the energy for all organism begin as
Sunlight either directly or indirectly
How does the plant obtain water it needs for photosynthesis
The roots get the water from the ground
What do you plants on chemosynthetic organisms have in common
They make their own food
