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
