chloroplast
|
cellular organelle where photosynthesis takes place
|
|
chlorophyll
|
chemical compounds found in chloroplasts that give chlorophasts their green color
|
|
stoma
|
tiny pores found on the surface of a leaf through which carbon dioxide enters the leaf and oxygen exits the leaf
|
|
structure of chloroplast
|
choloroplast has an inner and an outer membrane. The inner membrane excloses a think fluid called stroma. Suspended in the stroma are thylakoids. Thylakoids are arranged in stacks called grana.
|
|
thylakoid
|
disk-shaped sacs suspended in the stoma, thick fluid, of a choloroplast.
|
|
general chemical equation for photosynthesis
|
6 Carbon dioxide + 6 Water ->
->-> Glucose + 6 Oxygen |
|
What are the two stages of photosynthesis?
|
the light reactions and the Calvin cycle
|
|
What is The Light Reactions
|
The first stage of photohynthesis where the light reactions convert the energy in sunlight to chemical energy
|
|
What is the Calvin Cycle?
|
The second stage of photo sythesis, The Calvin Cycle makes sugar from the atoms in carbon dioxide plus the hydrogen ions and the high-energy electrons carried by NADPH. sometimes referred to as the "ligh-independent reactions."
|
|
Carbon Cycle
|
process by which carbon moves from inorganic to organic compounds and back. Through photosynthesis, producers such as grass convert inorganic carbon dioxide to organic compounds. Coonsumers obtain the organic compounds by eating the producers. ultimately, cellular respiration by both producers and consumers return carbon dioxide to the atmosphere.
|
|
What are the reactants and products of photosynthesis?
|
reactants: carbon dioxide and water
products glucose and oxygen |

What are the reactants and products of light reactions?
|
depends on molecules built into the membranes fo thylakoids
result: formation of NADPH and ATP, and O2 as waster |
