Accurate Solutions with Clear Explanations
| Grade A+
What is photosynthetic autotroph? -✓✓Creatures that generate their own
organic matter through photosynthesis.
What is the fluid inside chloroplasts called? -✓✓Stroma.
What are the membranes inside chloroplasts called? -✓✓Thykaloids.
What is the overall equation for photosynthesis? -✓✓6 CO2 + 6 H20 +
Light Energy = C6H12O6 + 6 O2
What is the primary function of pigments in photosynthesis? -✓✓They
hold electrons that gain energy, which is then released and used.
What is the primary pigment used in photosynthesis? -✓✓Chlorophyll
A.
Why are leaves green? -✓✓Green is the only color not absorbed during
photosynthesis.
, How and where does water enter a plant? -✓✓Water enters hairs on the
plant's roots through osmosis.
How and where does carbon dioxide enter a plant? -✓✓Carbon dioxide
enters plants through small holes on their leaves, called stoma.
The light reactions take place in three stages. Name the stages and
summarize the events of each stage. -✓✓Absorption of Light, where
sunlight is taken in by the plant through chlorophylls; Electron
Transport, where electrons travel in the thylakoid membrane to transport
the sunlight energy for conversion; and Generation of ATP, where the
sunlight energy is converted into energy for the plant.
What are all the products of the light reactions? -✓✓ATP, NADPH, and
oxygen.
The Calvin Cycle has three main stages. Name the stages and summarize
the events of each stage. -✓✓Carbon Fixation, where plants attach
carbon dioxide to a chemical to start photosynthesis; Reduction Phase,
where energy reacts with chemicals to create simple sugars; and
Carbohydrate Formation, where carbohydrates are produced.
What are all the produces in the Calvin cycle? -✓✓Glucose, ADP, P,
and NADP+.
