Photosynthesis Notes

Photosynthesis
Biology 3rd period

• it converts solar energy into chemical energy.

​What is photosynthesis?

• sunlight or light energy and carbon dioxide go into the plant and makes oxygen and sugar.

​How does photosynthesis work?

Multiple Choice

What is photosynthesis?

• helps plants grow

• gives animals energy

• helps air quality

• converts solar energy into chemical energy

Multiple Choice

What needs to go in the plant in order for the plant to create oxygen and glucose?

• hydrogen and sugar

• carbon dioxide and sunlight

• oxygen and sunlight

• sugar and water

• Reactant: 6H2O(water)+6CO2(carbon dioxide)+ sunlight energy

• Products: 6O2(oxygen)+C6 H12 O6(glucose, chemical energy)

​Reactants and Products

• Takes place in chloroplast of plants and algae

• Uses water, carbon dioxide, and light energy

​Other facts of photosynthesis

Multiple Choice

Where does photosynthesis take place?

• In the nucleus of the cell
• In the mitochondria
• In the chloroplasts
• In the cell membrane

Multiple Choice

What are the photosynthesis reactant?

• Carbon dioxide, light energy, and water

• Oxygen and glucose
• Nitrogen and hydrogen
• Sodium and chlorine

Multiple Choice

What is the photosynthesis products?

• Oxygen and Glucose
• Carbon Dioxide and Water
• Nitrogen and Hydrogen
• Sodium and Chloride

• Occurs in thylakoids(membrane system in chloroplast)

• Uses suns energy

• Carbon Dioxide + ATP = Glucose

​Light Independent Step

• Occurs in stroma (surface of leaf for gas exchange) of chloroplast

• Carbon dioxide + ATP = Glucose

​Light Dependent Step

Multiple Choice

Light Independent occurs in..

• oxygen in chloroplast

• stroma in chloroplast

• water in chloroplast

• thylakoids in chloroplast

Multiple Choice

Light Dependent occurs in

• stroma in chloroplast

• hydrogen in chloroplast

• thylakoids in chloroplast

• sodium in chloroplast

Multiple Choice

What is the equation for BOTH Light Independent & Dependent?

• Carbon dioxide + hydrogen = glucose

• Carbon dioxide + ATP = glucose

• Water + Carbon = oxygen

• Water + sugar = sugar water
