Photosynthesis

chlorophyll absorbs other colors and reflects green back to our eyes

why are plants green in appearance?

to keep the test tube with the plant cool

why did we shine light through the beaker of water?

carbon dioxide and water

What are the reactants of photosynthesis?

oxygen and glucose

What is produced by photosynthesis?

wave properties

Which of the following are types of properties of light?

carotene

based on distance traveled up the chromatography paper, which pigment is the most non-polar pigment?

carotenoids

besides chlorophyll, what pigments are found in leaves?

PS II-light reactions

during photosynthesis, where is water split and oxygen released?

16.5 mm/10 min

if net photosynthesis is 15 mm/10 min and cellular respiration is 1.5 mm/10 min, how much is gross photosynthesis?

glucose

in which molecule do the carbons from CO2 end up after photosynthesis?

blue, green, yellow, orange, red

list the colors from highest energy to lowest:

blue and violet

what color of light is absorbed by carotenes?

green

what color of light is not absorbed by green plants?

oxygen

what gas is released during light reactions of photosynthesis?

oxygen

what gas was bring produced in our test tube that made the water move up the tube?

cellular respiration

what is the gas released during photosynthesis used to do (by animals and plants)?

they produce chemical energy in the form of NADPH and ATP

what is the importance of the light reactions of photosynthesis since they do not directly produce energy-rich carbohydrates?

chloroplasts

what organelle, present in eukaryotic photosynthetic organisms, is the location of photosynthesis?

chromatography

what technique was used to separate the leaf pigments?

Elodea

what was the plant we used for our photosynthesis experiment?

to make carbon dioxide

what was the purpose of the sodium bicarbinate we put into our test tube with our plant?

carbonic acid

when CO2 combines with H2O, what is the product that makes phenol red turn yellow?

cellular respiration

when we wrapped the test tube in aluminum foil, what caused the water in the volumeter to go back down?

thylakoid membrane

where are the pigments located which absorb the energy of light?

stroma

where is CO2 reduced during the Calvin Cycle reactions?

blue

which colors of light below does the plant use for photosynthesis?
