|
Chemical Equation of Photosynthesis?
|
6CO2+6H2O+sunlight----->C6H12O6+O2
|
|
Photosynthesis equation in words?
|
Carbon Dioxide+Water+Sunlight produces Glucose(Sugar)+Oxygen
|
|
What happens in the Light Reaction?
|
-light energy splits water into hydrogen & electrons-ATP is produced by chemiosmosis-produces oxygen
|
|
What happens in the Dark Reaction?
|
-ATP provides energy-NADPH carries electrons/hydrogen to the Dark Reaction-Carbon Dioxide enters through the Stomata and is fixed into simple carbohydrates like glucose(sugar)
|
|
What is alternate pathways?
|
Alternate ways for photosynthesis based on the environment change.(helping plants to lose less water & reduce the interference from oxygen)-C3 Photosynthesis is the standard photosynthesis pathway-C4 is the alternate pathway for more tropical climates-CAM is the alternate pathway for a hotter and dryer climate
|
|
In what organelle does photosynthesis occur?
|
Chloroplast
|
|
What is chlorophyll?
|
The green pigment seen
|
|
What is an autotroph?
|
-a self-feeder-creates own food by converting inorganic molecules to organic molecules-photoautotroph: uses sunlight to produce carbohydrates *cyanobacteria, multicellular algae, photosynthetic protists
|
|
What is a heterotroph?
|
-organic molecules that must be provided food by digesting another organism *herbivores, carnivores, omnivores, decomposers
|
|
What are the factors that affect photosynthesis?
|
-light intensity-temperature-amount of carbon dioxide
|
|
What do pigments do?
|
Absorb light energy
