Photosynthesis

?
Name metabolic activities that require energy
Active transport, anabolic reactions, movement
1 of 20
Name th main process that synthesises ATP
Chemiosmosis
2 of 20
How are electrons raised to a higher energy level? (2)
Electrons in pigment (chlorophyll) are excited when light is absorbed High energy electrons released from bonds breaking
3 of 20
What are the excited electrons used for
Generate a proton gradient
4 of 20
Define autotroph
Make their own food using light
5 of 20
Give th equation of photosynthesis
6CO2 + 6H2O -> 6O2 + C6H12O6
6 of 20
Name the structures of a chloroplast
Stroma, grana (thylakoid stacks), lamellae
7 of 20
Why do pigments have different colours
Absorb and reflect different wavelengths of light
8 of 20
Name the primary pigment in photosynthesis
Chlorophyll (absorbs red and blue)
9 of 20
what Are the 2 main stages of photosynthesis
Light dependant stage & light independent stage
10 of 20
Explain the process of non- cyclic photophosphrylation
PSII &a PSI (photosystems 1&2) absorb light. Electrons are excited. ATP made by chemiosmosis. Remaining electrons are accepted by NADP
11 of 20
Explain photolysis
Water split into H+ ions and electrons and O2 (oxygen)
12 of 20
Explain the process of cyclic photophosphorylation
PSI produces ATP, electrons returned to PSI instead of making NADPH
13 of 20
Where does the light independent stage occur
Stroma
14 of 20
Explain what happens in the Calvin cycle
Fixation - CO2 fixed with RuBP Reduction - GP reduced to TP Regeneration - RuBP regenerated
15 of 20
Name the limiting factors that affect rate of photosynthesis
Light intensity, carbon dioxide concentration, temperature
16 of 20
Define limiting factor
Variable which is in short supply, reduces rate of photosynthesis
17 of 20
What happens to concentration of GP & TP when light intensity decreases
GP increases, TP decreases
18 of 20
What is the effect of temperature on the Calvin cycle
GP, TP & RuBP concentrations decrease - less kinetic energy for enzymes
19 of 20
What is the effect of low CO2 concentration on the Calvin cycle
GP, TP decrease, RuBP increases
