Cell Transport and Photosynthesis

Front

What is the first step in the light independent reactions?

Back

Carbon dioxide is added to RuBP.

Front

In which situation is a cell hypertonic to its environment?

Back

A fresh water fish.

Front

What is the light energy that is absorbed by chlorophyll in the photosystems used for?

Back

To excite electrons.

Front

What is the purpose of photosynthesis?

Back

To make sugar.

Front

Where do the light dependent reactions occur?

Back

Thylakoids.

Front

What is osmosis?

Back

The movement of water across a semipermeable membrane from an area of low solute concentration to an area of high solute concentration.

Front

Define diffusion.

Back

The process by which molecules spread from areas of high concentration to areas of low concentration.

Front

What is a hypotonic solution?

Back

A solution with a lower concentration of solutes compared to another solution.

Front

What is the role of chlorophyll in photosynthesis?

Back

Chlorophyll absorbs light energy, which is used to convert carbon dioxide and water into glucose and oxygen.

Front

What are thylakoids?

Back

Membrane-bound structures within chloroplasts where the light-dependent reactions of photosynthesis occur.
