Net Photosynthesis

A measurement that does not take in to account the oxygen that was used up for cellular respuration

Gross Photosynthesis

(net photosynthesis + cellular respiration)

Where does Photosynthesis take place?

Chloroplast

Blowing onto the solution adds what gas?

Co2

What happens to carbon dioxide after it is taken up during the calvin cycle reactions?

During the Calvin cycle, CO2 is taken up and then reduced to a carbohydrate that can later be converted to glucose.

What happens to water during light reactions? What happens to the released oxygen?

PS II would disintegrate without replacement electrons and these ae removed from water, which splits, releasing oxygen to the atmosphere. The water is oxidized and the oxygen is released in PS.

What is the function of the photosynthetic pigments in photosynthesis?

Pigment molecules absorb wavelengths of light. They reflect or transmit the other wavelengths

The light reactions take place in the what?

The light reaction takes place in the thylakoid discs. They utilize in photosystem I, II

When light is available and a plant is added, the solution returns to its original red color? why does this occur?

The plant uses the CO2 for photosynthesis, causing the reaction to move to the left.

How are plant pigments involved in photosynthesis?

They absorb solar energy

How does it benefit a plant to have a variety of photosynthetic pigments?

They interact with light to absorb only certain wavelengths, pigments are useful to plants and other autotrophs which make their own food using photosynthesis.

Photosynthetic organisms including plants, algae, and cyanobacteria is called what?

autotrophs

Why is it beneficial to have several different plant pigments involved in photosynthesis?

because different pigments absorb different amount of energy.

Does green light minimally promotes photosynthesis?

blue, red, violet are better than other lights. green light is transmitted and reflected by chlorophyll(green light does not reflect). Green plants do not use the green wavelengths.

Photosynthesis

converts solar energy into the chemical energy into carbohydrates.

Cellular respiration

is a set of metabolic reactions and processes that take place in the cells of organisms to convert biochemical energy from nutrients into adenosine triphosphate (ATP)

why does the edge move upward in test tube?

oxygen displace the water

Does green light explain why leaves are green?

plants are green because their cells contain chloroplasts which have the pigment chlorophyll which absorbs blue and red light, so the sunlight spectrum is being reflected, causing the plant to look green.

When carbon dioxide combines with water, it forms carbonic acid therefore the solution is what color?

yellow
