- The cellular organ where photosynthesis takes place.
- Chloroplast
- Chemical compounds within chloroplasts that give them their green color.
- Clorophylls.
- The inner membrane of a chloroplast encloses this.
- Stroma.
- Disk-shaped sacs suspended in the stroma.
- Thylakoids.
- Light reactions.
- Convert energy in sunlight into chemical energy.
- Structure of chloroplast from smallest to largest.
- Thylakoids stack up to form granum, which float in stroma,which is enclosed by inner and outer membrane.
- Calvin cycle turns
- CO2 into sugar.
- Photosynthesis
- CO2+H2O+sunlight=Oxygen+sugar
- Distance between two adjacent waves.
- Wavelength.
- The range of types of electromagnetic energy.
- Electromagnetic spectum.
- These chemical compouds give a substance its color.
- Pigments.
- Paper chromotography.
- Allows you to observe pigments in a green leaf.
- How does light affect color of pigments.
- When light hits pigments, the light is absorbed, transmitted, or reflected.
- Clusters of clorophyll and other molecules within the thylakoid membrane.
- Photosystems.
- Photosystems harvest energy by...
- Sunlight hitting the thylakoids, which causes a chain reaction resulting in energy.
- Products of light reactions are...
- ATP and NADPH
- Calvin Cycle takes in...
- NADPH, ATP, CO2.
- Photosynthesis equation is...
- H2O+CO2+Sunlight=Glucose+Oxygen
- Carbon Cycle is where...
- Carbon moves from inorganic to organic compounds and back.
- In the carbon cycle, carbon...
- Is continuosly taken in and then released by organic molecules.
- The greenhouse effect...
- Keeps climate warm for living things.
- How does photosynthesis relate to climate?
- By releasing oxygen, taking in CO2.
