Photosynthesis
carotenes
orange
phyll
plant
light reactions need
sunlight
the dark reaction releases
water
What happens when carbon dioxide is broken down
it releases 1 oxygen
Photosynthesis requires
light, carbon dioxide, water, chlorophyll
basic equation for photosynthesis
light, enzymes Chlorophyll 6Carbon + 12Water = Glucose + 6Oxygen + 6 Water
xanthro
yello
photons
packets of light energy.
phyta
algae
pigments
absorb light
Calvin Cycle
2nd of 2 stages of photosynthesis.
Glucose
C(6)H(12)O(6)
when carbon dioxide and oxygen are changed to glucose what is the molecluar form?
C(6)H(12)O(6) + (6)H(2)0 + 6O(2) extra water and oxygen is released
Dark cycle is also called
Calvin Cycle
produces PGA
Calvin Cylce
water and carbon dioxide are stored as what in a plant?
Glucose
NADP
Hydrogen acceptor molecules
what do the hydrogen atoms bond with
NADP
NADP releases the hydrogen atom to
PGA
RDP releases the carbon and the oxygen to
PGA
H+PGA+C+O=
PGAL
What does the carbon and oxygen bond to
RDP
sugars are made here by the enzymes of the Calvin Cycle
Stroma
producers
autotrophs
azo
blue
phaeo
brown
photosynthesis
chemical energy from sunlight to stored energy
plants contain what type of chlorophyll
chlorophyll A and chlorophyll B
the light reactions use some of the trapped energy to
covert ADP to ATP
heterotrophs
get nutrients from pants either directly or indirectly
PGAL produces
glucose and water
chryso
golden
sites where light energy is trapped by chlorophyll and converted to chemical energy during the light reactions of photo synthesis
grana
where does photosynthesis begin
grana
chloro
green
secondary consumer
heterotrophs that eat organisms that eat plant
primary consumer
heterotrophs that eat plants
where do the dark phases take place
in the stroma
autotrophs
make own food from photosynthesis
thylakoid
one of a number of disk-shaped membranous sacs inside chloroplast.
chloroplast
organelles that allow plants to absorb sunlight
the light reaction releases
oxygen
what happens when the water molecule is broken down
oxygen is released
break down the water molecule in photosynthesis
photons
blue green algae
prokaryotes
electron transport
reaction in which one or more electrons are transferred to carrier molecules. Releases energy stored in high energy molecules such as glucose
rhodo
red
light reactions are responsible for
splitting of the water molecule
dark reactions are responsible for
splitting the carbon dioxide molecules
grana
stack of hollow disks formed of thylakoid membrane in a chloroplast.
where are the ADP and phosphate molecules located
stroma
dark reactions do not need
sunlight
What causes the difference in pigments?
the arrangement of grana
NADPH
the result of the Hydrogen atom bonding with the NADP
What controls the amount of energy a photon has?
the wavelength of light, the shorter the wavelength the more energy a photon has.
stroma
thick fluid enclosed by the inner membrane of a chloroplast.
contains chlorophyll and enzymes of the light reaction photosynthesis
thylakoid
