What are components of Photosynthesis |
|
Definition
| Sunlight is absorbed by cholorphyll (plants mainly absorb frequencies in the red/blue range) |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
*Occurs in green plants, algae, some bacteria
*Cholorophyll captures sun's energy
*Convert solar energy into chemical energy that is stored in carbohydrates
*Overall Reaction
CO2 + H20 --> C6H12O6 + O2 |

2. Blade (flat, broad part)
Upper and lower epidermis

Term
| What are the 2 stages of Photosynthesis |
|
Definition
1. Light Reactions
2. Calvin Cycle (or Dark Reactions) |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
-sunlight captured
-occurs in grana (thylakoid membrane) |
|
|
Term
| Calvin cycle (dark reactions) |
|
Definition
-sugar is synthesized
-occurs in stroma |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
units of comples molecules in a thylakoid membrane |
|
|
Term
| Reaction center includes... |
|
Definition
| molecule that is the primary electron acceptor |
|
|
Term
| electrons move up as energy hill... |
|
Definition
|
|
Term
|
Definition
1. photosystem II absorbs sunlight
2. electrons are "enegergized"
3. redox reactions occur down the ETC, ATP fromed
4. water is split (O2 given off)
5. photosystem I receives electrons as they reach bottom of hill
6. electrons are energized and transferred down hill until they are received by NADP+
7. NADP+ is reduced to NADPH
8. NADPH is used in calvin cycle |
