Besides plants, what are two other types of organisms that can conduct photosynthesis?,
| Bacteria and protists (both have members that do photosynthesis) |
A student notices bubbles coming off of an aquatic plant when it is exposed to bright sunlight. These bubbles are most likely ___. | oxygen (because the plant is doing photosynthesis),
|
What are the two main things produced by photosynthesis?,
| oxygen and high energy sugars (the sugars can be changed into starch, cellulose, proteins, lipids, or nucleic acids later on) |
What are three main things needed for photosynthesis?,
| water, carbon dioxide, and sunlight |
Plants gather the sun's energy with light absorbing molecules called ___. | pigments |
Which type of pigment is used to capture most of the sun's energy? | chlorophyll,
|
Most plants appear green because chlorophyll ____ green light. | reflects |
Which color of the visible spectrum is not absorbed well by chlorophyll? | green |
The region of the chloroplast that is outside of the thylakoids is called the ___. | stroma |
Where in the chloroplast can chlorophyll be found? | In the thylakoids |
Where do the light-dependent reactions of photosynthesis take place?,
| Within the thylakoid membrane of the chloroplast |
What are the products of the light-dependent reactions of photosynthesis?,
| Oxygen gas, ATP (There's another energy storing molecule called NADPH that is also created) |
Where do the electrons that travel through the electron transport chain of photosynthesis originally come from?,
| Water molecules (The electrons that absorb energy from the sun and then travel through the electron transport chain (ETC) must be replaced. They are replaced by stripping water molecules of their low energy electrons that then absorb energy (becoming high energy electrons) and travel through the ETC. The water molecules that lost electrons fall apart, producing oxygen gas and hydrogen ions) |
During which stage of photosynthesis is water needed?,
| light-dependent reactions |
During which stage of photosynthesis is carbon dioxide needed?,
| the Calvin Cycle (a.k.a. the light-independent or dark reactions) |
During which stage of photosynthesis is oxygen produced?,
| light-dependent reactions |
During which stage of photosynthesis is the energy from ATP used to produce high energy sugars?,
| the Calvin Cycle (a.k.a. the light-independent or dark reactions) |
Which product of the light dependent reaction of photosynthesis is needed during the Calvin Cycle? | ATP |
For a tree doing photosynthesis, where does the carbon dioxide that is needed during the Calvin Cycle come from?,
| the atmosphere |
The Calvin Cycle of photosynthesis is another name for the _____.,
| light-independent reactions |
What is the product of the Calvin Cycle of photosynthesis? | High energy sugars |
Where does the Calvin Cycle of photosynthesis take place? | In the stroma of the chloroplast |
What is the name of this entire structure?,  | chloroplast,  |
What is #1 pointing to?,  | A thylakoid inside a chloroplast,  |
What is #3 pointing to?,  | The stroma of the chloroplast,  |
What is the overall chemical equation for photosynthesis?,
| .,  |
Where do photosynthetic organisms (like trees) get the carbon atoms that are needed to make high energy sugars? | carbon dioxide |
The first set of reactions in photosynthesis are the light - _________ reactions. | dependent |
The last set of reactions in photosynthesis are the light - _________ reactions. | independent |
TRUE or FALSE: The electron transport chain is part of the light-dependent reactions. | TRUE |
Energy from the sun is first stored in ________, then that energy is transferred to _____ , and finally that energy is transferred into ______. | electrons, ATP, sugars |

TRUE or FALSE: Plants don't do cellular respiration or require any oxygen because they do photosynthesis instead. | FALSE (Plants do both. They make food to store energy and produce oxygen during photosynthesis, but when they need energy, they will use cellular respiration to get the energy out of the food, just like you do) |
