Front

What is ATP and what does it do?

Back

Adenosine triphosphate stores small amounts of energy that are released when a P group is broken off

Front

In one sentence, what is the purpose of photosynthesis

Back

The purpose of photosynthesis is to convert light energy into chemical potential energy (glucose) to be used as a food

Front

Write the overall equation for photosynthesis

Back

6co+6H2O C6H12+6o2

Front

What does chlorophyll do in photosynthesis

Back

When struck by light it releases high energy electrons

Front

In what wavelengths (colors) is chlorophyll most effective

Back

The main peak is in the blue to indigo range with a secondary peak in red wavelengths

Front

What are accessory pigments and what do they do

Back

Accessory pigments like carotenoids absorb light in wavelengths that chlorophyll does not

Front

Where do the light dependent reactions occur

Back

In the thylakoid membrane of the chloroplast

Front

what happens first when light hits photosystem II

Back

Excited electrons are released and move into electron transport chain

Front

When water is split, where does the energy come from to do this?

Back

Light energy

Front

What are the three products of water splitting and what happens to each one

Back

Oxygen- given off

Electrons replace those from chlorophyll

Protons - Enrich proton gradient
