chapter 13 bio: photosynthesis

light independent reactions

Instead of taking in CO2 the plant takes in o2 as a substitute this requires the plant to cycle through and give the o2 a carbon which expends much more energy than typically

makes it own food

uses other things as its food (doesn't make its own)

To create energy for the plant by converting light energy co2 and water into carbon dioxide into oxygen and sugars

Role of NAD(H), NADP(H), and FAD(H)

6CO2 + 6H2O + light energy → C6H12O6 + 6O2

_______ is reduced in photosynthesis and ______ is oxidized

Photosynthetic pigments are the molecules responsible for absorbing electromagnetic radiation, transferring the energy of the absorbed photons to the reaction center

location of pigments

reactants of the light dependent reactions

products of the light independent reactions

location of the calvin cycle

reactants of the calvin cycle

products of the calvin cycle

What colors of electromagnetic spectrum are reflected

photosystem II source of electrons

photosystem I source of electrons

photosytem II products

photosystem I products

do not have features to combat photorespiration

do minimize photorespiration

plants open their stomata to capture carbon dioxide at night which is chemically stored to be used during the day and turned into glucose

electrons are removed from water (to the left) and then donated to the lower (non‐excited) oxidized form

Photosynthesis intakes ____ and photorespiration intakes ____which leads to major energy use

what is used by plants for energy and to make other substances like cellulose and starch

what structure functions by trapping the solar energy and is used for the synthesis of food in all green plants

Produces oxygen which is needed for all of the animals on the planets

stack of thylakoids

multiple stacks of thylakoids

where carbon dioxide enters a plant
