Where does photosynthesis end up in?
Photosynthesis occurs in the chloroplasts of plant cells. Specifically, the light-dependent reactions occur in the thylakoid membranes, while the light-independent reactions (Calvin cycle) occur in the stroma of the chloroplast.
What is photosynthesis made up?
sugar and oxygen
What are the two other variable that affect photosynthesis?
Two other variables that affect photosynthesis are temperature and carbon dioxide levels. Photosynthesis rates increase with higher temperatures up to a certain point, beyond which they decrease. Carbon dioxide levels also influence photosynthesis, as higher concentrations can boost the rate of photosynthesis up to a certain level.
Is warmth necessary for photosynthesis?
Warmth is necessary for photosynthesis to occur, as it speeds up the chemical reactions in the process. However, excessive heat can also be detrimental to photosynthesis, as it can denature enzymes involved in the process.
Is chloroplast made up of thylakoids?
Yes, chloroplasts are made up of thylakoid membranes. Thylakoids are membrane-bound compartments within chloroplasts where the light-dependent reactions of photosynthesis occur. Multiple thylakoid membranes are stacked together to form structures called grana within the chloroplast.
How do you know that the processes photosynthesis and cellular respiration follow the law of conservation of mass?
All chemical reactions follow the law of conservation of mass, and the many reactions that make up photosynthesis are not exceptions. Photosynthesis takes carbon from the air and water from the soil to produce sugars and oxygen.
How can photosynthesis be increased by increasing the temperature?
Temperature affects living things mainly by affecting the rate of chemical reactions. These are catalysed by enzymes, which are speeded up by increasing the temperature. The Calvin cycle is a series of chemical reactions, so increasing the temperature increases the rate of reactions in the Calvin cycle and so increases the rate of photosynthesis.
Is chlorophyll one of the raw materials needed for photosynthesis?
Yes, chlorophyll is a key component needed for photosynthesis in plants. It is a pigment that absorbs light energy, which is then used to convert carbon dioxide and water into glucose and oxygen during the process of photosynthesis.
What picks up energized electrons from reactions in the thylakoids of plants during photosynthesis?
The molecule that picks up energized electrons in the thylakoid membranes during photosynthesis is called NADP+ (nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate). It accepts the electrons and is reduced to NADPH, which then carries the electrons to the Calvin cycle for the production of sugars.
What is made of enzymes?
enzymes are made up of protein; enzymes are used to speed up chemical reactions.
Chemical reactions occur on the active on an enzyme?
Enzymes speed up chemical reactions inside living organisms. They are made up of proteins.
What is photosynthesis made up?
sugar and oxygen
How are the two stages of photosynthesis the light reactions and the Calvin cycle dependent upon each other?
Photosynthesis' products are the same as the reactants of cellular respiration. In other words photosynthesis makes what cellular respiration uses.
How is NADP plus involved in photosynthesis?
NADP+ plays a crucial role in photosynthesis by accepting high-energy electrons and hydrogen to form NADPH during the light-dependent reactions. NADPH then carries these energized electrons to the Calvin cycle (light-independent reactions) to help convert carbon dioxide into glucose and other sugars.
Is ATP produced in both photosynthesis and respiration?
Yes, ATP is produced in both photosynthesis and respiration. In photosynthesis, ATP is generated during the light-dependent reactions in the thylakoid membrane of chloroplasts. In respiration, ATP is produced through the process of glycolysis, the citric acid cycle, and oxidative phosphorylation in the mitochondria.
What are the two other variable that affect photosynthesis?
Two other variables that affect photosynthesis are temperature and carbon dioxide levels. Photosynthesis rates increase with higher temperatures up to a certain point, beyond which they decrease. Carbon dioxide levels also influence photosynthesis, as higher concentrations can boost the rate of photosynthesis up to a certain level.
What terms is a process that is made up of two other terms?
Photosynthesis is a term for a process that is made from two other words. This is the process that plants use to get energy from the sun. Photo means light, and synthesis means putting together.
