thylakoids
sac-like photosynthetic membranes, on the diagram they are each individual member of a stack
granum
stack of thylakoids
stroma
region outside the thylakoid membranes in chloroplasts
light dependent reactions
reactions of photosynthesis that use energy from light and water to produce ATP and oxygen that is released into the atmosphere
Calvin Cycle / Light Independent reactions
plants use ATP and CO2 to produce high-energy sugars such as glucose
What is the function of ATP?
Provides small amounts of energy for cellular reactions to take place.
What factors affect photosynthesis
type of light and pigments
amount/intensity of light
source/abundance of CO2
source/abundance of H2O
temperature and pH
temperature and pH
Where do light dependent reactions take place?
within the thylakoid membrane of the chloroplast
Where does the Calvin Cycle take place?
stroma
What molecules are NEEDED for photosynthesis?
carbon dioxide and water
What molecules are PRODUCED in photosynthesis?
glucose and oxygen
chloroplast
organelle where photosynthesis occurs
What pigment makes plants green?
chlorophyll
light-independent reaction are also called
Calvin Cycle, named after Melvin Calvin who discovered these reactions
