BIOL 1001 Midterm: Comprehensive Test 3 Study Guide (98% on the test)
Document Summary
Leaves are main components of photosynthesis: chloropyll-green pigment. Thykaloid: h2o gets absorbed through the roots then through the vascular bundles, where it ultimately enters the stroma pores, stroma -how c02 and h2o enter leaves. Found in cloroplasts: chloroplasts are found in mesophyll cells, the contain thykaloids and the stroma. Chylorophyll is located here: arranged in stacks called grana. Light-dependent reactions occur here (there are 2 total in. Light-dependent vs. light-independent reactions involved in photosynthesis: light-dependent. Sunlighted is converted into chemical energy and then stored in energy carrier molecules called atp and nadph (think of recharging a battery) Occurs in thykaloid membranes, oxygen is released as by-product. H2o + nadp++adp => o2+nadph +atp: light-independent. Carrier molecues (atp and nadph) is used to make glucose. Takes place in stroma (how h2o and co2 is enters leaves) Co2+atp + nadph+h2o => c6h12o6+atp +nadp: summary (remember it"s a cycle) Products are stored in carriers (atp, nadph) and oxygen is released .
