How do cells specialized for photosynthesis receive carbon dioxide and water?
Cells specialized for photosynthesis receive carbon dioxide from the atmosphere through stomata and absorb water from the soil through roots.
What are the main components of the light-dependent reactions in photosynthesis?
Light absorption, photosystems I and II, electron transport chain, proton gradient, ATP synthase, NADPH, ATP, role of water, production of oxygen.
What is the role of water in the light-dependent reactions?
Water is split (photolysis) to provide electrons, protons, and oxygen; it replaces electrons lost by chlorophyll.
What are the products of the light-dependent reactions?
The products are ATP and NADPH, which are used in the Calvin Cycle.
What is the Calvin Cycle?
The light-independent reactions that use ATP and NADPH to convert carbon dioxide into glucose through a series of reactions.
What key enzyme is involved in the Calvin Cycle?
Rubisco is the enzyme that catalyzes the first step of the Calvin Cycle by combining carbon dioxide with RuBP.
Where do plants get their matter and mass from?
Plants primarily get their matter and mass from carbon dioxide in the atmosphere and water from the soil.
What factors affect the rate of photosynthesis?
The rate of photosynthesis can be affected by light intensity, carbon dioxide concentration, temperature, and water availability.
What is the significance of G3P in photosynthesis?
G3P is a three-carbon sugar produced in the Calvin Cycle that is a precursor for glucose and other organic compounds.
What is the function of ATP synthase in photosynthesis?
ATP synthase synthesizes ATP from ADP and inorganic phosphate, driven by the proton gradient established during the light-dependent reactions.
