Introduction to Photosynthesis
Review
Plants “look green” because they _____________ green wavelengths of light.
absorb reflect
reflect
Photosynthesis in plants takes place inside which organelle?
chloroplasts
A _________________ is a molecule (like chlorophyll) that absorbs energy and is used by green plants to absorb sunlight.
Name the two types of chlorophyll
________________ & _________________
pigment

Set of chemical reactions in which the product of one reaction goes on to be the reactant in the next reaction
biochemical pathway
Use words to fill in the overall chemical reaction for photosynthesis.
___________+___________ __________ + __________
Carbon dioxide water Sugars oxygen
Land plants get the carbon dioxide needed for photosynthesis from the ____________(environment)atmosphere
Name the 2 sets of reactions that make up photosynthesis:
#1 is called ___________________.Light-Dependent Reactions#2 is called ________________.Calvin Cycle
(or Light-independent Reactions)
#1
#2
Photosynthesis
The main photosynthetic pigment ingreen plants = ___________________
chlorophyll
TRUE or FALSE
The Calvin cycle requires light.
FALSE: It is light INDEPENDENT
Light-Dependent Reactions break apart ________ and give off _______ gas.water oxygen
______________ areplant pigments thatare orange or yellowinstead of green
Carotenoids

Molecules that interact in a chemical reaction that are written on the left side of a chemical equation are called ________________reactants
Reactions of photosynthesis that use light energy to produce ATP and NADPH
Light-dependent reactions
Pigments that are yellow or orange not green
Clusters of light collectingproteins found in the thylakoidMembrane
carotenoids
photosystems
Process by which plants and some other organisms use sunlight to convert water and carbon dioxide (CO2) into oxygen (O2) and high energy carbohydrates
PHOTOSYNTHESIS
