What is the overall equation for photosynthesis?
answer
6CO2 + 6H2O —> C6H12O6 + 6O2
question
What is the relationship between light and chlorophyll ?
answer
Chlorophyll the main principle pigment that is in plants used to gather light energy.
question
Name the major reactants and products of light dependent and independent reactions.
answer
Light Dependent: Reactants: glucose Products : ATP, NADPH, and oxygen Light Independent: Reactants:ATP, NADPH, and CO2. Products: glucose
question
What are charged and uncharged batteries in photosynthesis/cellular respiration?
answer
NADP+ --> NADPH NAD ---> NADH FAD ---> FADH2
question
What is the sources of electrons?
answer
water
question
What is the final destination of electrons?
answer
Two electrons and two hydrogen combine with one oxygen to make water. The electrons are coming down the electron transport chain, the hydrogen is that being pumped into through the protein complexes of that chain, gathered together to go down their concentration gradient through the ATP synthase. The Oxygen, a great electron hog pulls the electrons down the chain and also picks up hydrogen as it comes through the synthase. Oxygen is the final electron acceptor.
question
What is the role of the electrons transport chain?
answer
The main purpose of the electron transport chain is to build up a surplus of hydrogen ions (protons) in the intermembrane space so that there will be a concentration gradient compared to the matrix of the mitochondria.
question
What are some factors that may affect the rate of photosynthesis?
answer
Light intensity temperature carbon dioxide concentration
question
What are pigments? Can you give an example of one?
answer
Light absorbing molecules are called pigments. eg. Chlorophyll, carotene
question
What organelle does photosynthesis take place in?
answer
Thylakoid membrane
question
Where do the light reaction and Calvin cycle take place?
answer
light reaction - thylakoid membrane calvin cycle - chloroplast
question
What is the overall equation for cellular respiration?
answer
C6H12 + 6O2 = 6CO2 + 6H2O + energy
question

question
What is the basic structure and function of ATP?
answer
The phosphate groups give ATP its energy. In your cells there is always a pool of two molecules. There is a pool of ATP, the triphosphate. The \"T\" stands for those three phosphate groups. There is also a pool of ADP, the \"D\" stands for \"di,\" or two phosphate groups. ATP can be broken down to ADP if a water molecule is inserted between the last two phosphates. This is hydrolysis. A water molecule is used to break a chemical bond, releasing energy. When ATP is converted to ADP, it is an exergonic reaction, and a phosphate is released at the same time. This ADP can be converted back to ATP, by adding a phosphate and storing energy in that chemical bond, through dehydration synthesis, where water is released. As ATP is used to power cellular work, ADP is produced, and then it is \"recharged\" with more energy, regenerating ATP.
