BIOL 1001 Chapter : Chapter 7 Photosynthesis
Document Summary
Synthesis of energy-rich organic molecules (glucose) from energy-poor molecules (co2 and h2o) Uses co2 as a carbon source and light-energy as the energy source. chloroplasts are the site of photosynthesis in plants leaves are the major organs of photosynthesis chlorophyll is the green pigment that gives a leaf its color. Water is absorbed by the roots and transported to the leaves through the vascular bundles: chloroplasts contain the thylakoids and the stroma (fig. --__________________ is the _________________________________ outside the thylakoids and inside the inner chloroplast membrane. The stroma is the site of the ___________________________- H2o + nadp+ + adp => o2 + nadph + atp. The sun emits energy in a broad spectrum of ______________________________ Electromagnetic energy travels in ______________________ and is composed of. Visible light wavelengths have energies that are strong enough to alter. The pattern of absorption is called the _____________________________- Chlorophyll a and b absorb violet, blue and red light.
