plants and some organisms use what to produce food
light energy from the sun
what obtains energy from consuming other organisms
heterotrophs
atp stands for
adenosine triphosphate
ATP is/has a chemical compound used by living things to
store energy
ATP has
adenosine (N-containing compound),ribose and 3 phosphate groups
ADP stands for
adenosine diphosphate
ADP has
only 2 phosphate groups
the cell can store small amounts of energy by
adding a phosphate group to ADP
ATP is like a
fully charged battery
energy stored in ATP is released when
ATP is broken down into ADP and phosphate
ATP is the basic energy source of
all cellular reactions
ATPs energy is used in many ways like
active transport-sodium potassium pump, and intracellular movement
gluclose can store how much more energy than ATP
90 times more
cells can regenerate ATP from ADP using the energy in
carbohydrates (gluclose) C6 H12 O6
photosynthesis is when
plants use energy of sunlight to convert water and carbon dioxide into oxygen and high energy carbs
van helmonts experiment was
wondering if plants grew by taking material out of the soil, he measured the mass of the soil and a plant for 5 yrs, he determined that water contributed to the mass of the tree
priestlys experiment was
using a candle,bell jar, and a plant to show that plants released a substance (O2) that keeps the candle burning
ingenhouszs experiment was
him proving that priestlys experiment only worked when the plant was exposed to light (light is nessassary for plants to produce oxygen)
photosynthesis equation
6CO2 + 6H2O → C6H12O6 + 6O2
photosynthesis uses the energy of sunlight to convert
water and co2 into 02 and high energy sugars
in addition to water and carbon dioxide, plants require
light and chlorophyll
light energy
comes in the forms of waves or photons (pockets of light energy)
pigments are
light absorbing molecules used to gather the suns energy
chlorophyll
the plants principle pigment (chlorophyll a and b)
chlorophyll absorbs what two colors, which results in what color
chlorophyll absorbs red and blue, results in green color
plants also contain what pigments called what
red/orange pigments called carotenes
when chlorophyll absorbs light, the energy is transferred directly to
the electrons in the molecule to initiate the reactions
photosynthesis takes place where
inside of the chloroplasts
what are thylakoids
saclike membranes in the chloroplat arranged in stacks called grana
thylakoids contain
clusters of chlorophyll and photosystems to capture the energy from sunlight
what is stroma
the space in the chloroplasts outside of the thylakoid
there are two sets of reactions in the chloroplasts such as
light dependent reaction (thylakoid) and light independent reaction (stroma)
what accepts pairs of high energy electrons and transfers them and their energy to another molecule
carrier molecules
NADP+ does what
accepts and holds two high energy electrons and a H+ion, also converts NADP+ to NAPDH and energy from sunlight gets trapped in chemical form (not for sure abt the second half it was worded weird)
light dependant reactions require what and produce what
require light and produce oxygen gas
light dependant reactions convert what
ADP and NADP+ into ATP and NADPH
pigments in what absorb light
photosystem ii
energy is absorbed by electrons which are passed through the what
electron transport chain (electrons also come from the splitting of water)
electrons move from what to what through the
photosystem ii to photosystem i through the electron transport chain
what in photosystem i use energy from light to what do what
pigments in photosystem i use energy from light to reenergize the electron
what picks up the high energy electrons outside the thylakoid membrane to become what
NADP+ picks up the high energy electrons outside the thylakoid membrane to become NADPH
ATP is made from energy in the
thylakoids ( inside the thylakoids becomes more positive and outside becomes more neg)
what allows H+ions to pass through the thylakoid membrane
ATP synthase
ATP synthase binds what to make what
binds ADP and a phosphate group to make ATP
what are factors that affect photosynthesis
amount of water, temp, and intensity of light
Calvin cycle (i dont know how to put this into questions)
a. light dependant reactions
b. discovered by melvin calvin
c. ATP and NADPH from the light-dependent reactions produce high energy sugars
i) 6CO molecules enter the cycle and combine with 6-5 carbon molecules to make 12-3 carbon molecules
ii) the 12-3 carbon molecules are converted into higher energy forms- energy comes from ATP and electrons from NADPH
iii) two of the 3 carbon molecules are used to form 6 carbon compounds and other compounds
iv) the remaining 10-3 carbon molecules are converted back into 6-5 carbon sugars. they combine with new co2 molecules to start the cycle again
photosystem ii comes before photosystem i
