AP Photosynthesis

Front

Where are ATP synthase complexes located in a plant cell?

Back

Thylakoid membrane and inner mitochondrial membranes.

Front

What is the relationship between wavelength of light and the quantity of energy per photon?

Back

They are inversely related.

Front

In mitochondria, where does the electron transport chain pump protons?

Back

From the matrix into the intermembrane space.

Front

In chloroplasts, where does the electron transport chain pump protons?

Back

From stroma to thylakoid space.

Front

What is the relationship between photosynthesis and cellular respiration?

Back

Cellular respiration is catabolic and photosynthesis is anabolic.

Front

When does synthesis of ATP by chemiosmosis occur in photosynthetic cells?

Back

During both photosynthesis and cellular respiration.

Front

What is photosynthesis?

Back

The process by which green plants use sunlight to synthesize foods with the help of chlorophyll.

Front

What is cellular respiration?

Back

The process by which cells convert glucose and oxygen into energy, carbon dioxide, and water.

Front

What role do thylakoid membranes play in photosynthesis?

Back

They house the chlorophyll and are the site of the light-dependent reactions.

Front

What is the function of the electron transport chain in chloroplasts?

Back

To create a proton gradient that drives ATP synthesis.
