| Chloroplasts | Light Reactions | The Dark Reactions | What's the Big Idea? |
|---|---|---|---|
|
Produces glucose from reactants.
What does the chloroplast do?
|
In the thylakoid (thylakoid membrane).
Where do the light reactions take place?
|
The stroma.
Where do the dark reactions (Calvin Cycle) occur?
|
Autotrophs.
Do autotrophs or heterotrophs utilize photosynthesis?
|
|
In the membrane of the thylakoid.
Where are the light receptors located in the chloroplast?
|
ATP and NADPH.
What are the products of the light reactions?
|
Glucose (technically, a molecule that can easily be modified into glucose (G3P/PGAL)).
What is the main product of the dark reactions?
|
The process by which light energy is converted to chemical energy.
What is photosynthesis?
|
|
A grana.
What is a stack of thylakoids called?
|
Photosystem II, it got its name because it was discovered after photosystem I.
What photosystem comes first in the reaction and how did it get its name?
|
ADP+P and NADP+.
What two products leave the reaction, and go back into the light reactions?
|
Temperature, CO2 levels, and light intensity.
Name three factors that affect photosynthesis.
|
|
A photon.
What are the particles of light called?
|
1) Photons enter photosystem II, breaking down water molecules into hydrogen ions and oxygen atoms, as well as excited electrons 2) The electrons pass down the electron chain, through photosystem I, where they are re-excited 3) The electron, along with hy
What are the steps of the light reactions?
|
Carbon fixation.
What is the first step of the dark reactions?
|
6CO2 + 6H2O yields C6H12O6 + 6O2.
What's the formula for photosynthesis?
|
|
Chlorophyll a and b, as well as carotenoid.
What pigments exist in the chloroplast?
|
ATP synthase.
Through what molecule do hydrogen ions pass in order to make ADP+P into ATP?
|
Reformulates G3P/PGAL into RuBP to continue the dark reactions.
What does Rubisco do?
|
The anabolic pathway.
Which pathway does photosynthesis utilize?
