Term
| Adaptions of a leaf (photosynthesis) |
|
Definition
Large surface area that collects sunlight
arrangement of leaves allows for maximised collection of sun energy
thin leaves for a short diffusion pathway as a result speeding up the process
transparent cuticle and epidermis to let light through
long narrow mesophyll
a lot of stomata |
|
|
Term
| Overall equation for photo synthesis |
|
Definition
| 6CO^2 + 6H^2O -> c^6h^12O^6 + 6O^2 |
|
|
Term

|
Definition
Oxidation is loss
loss of electrons
gain of oxygen (obviously)
loss of hydrogren
Reduction is gain
gain of electrons
loss of oxygen
gain of hydrogen |

Definition
| light splitting water into H+ and OH- ions |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
ADP+P(I)-->ATP
ATP ---> ADP + P(I) |
|
|
Term
| Adaptions to carry out function |
|
Definition
Thylakoid membrane provides large surface area for attachment of chlorophyll
Network of proteins in the grana hold the chlorophyll to maximise light
Membranes have enzymes to help manufacture ATP
Chloroplast contain both DNA and Ribosomes to easily manufacture proteins |
