Photosynthesis equation
CO2 + H20 + sun ==> (G3P)Glucose + O2
Chlorophyll
A light absorbing molecule in chloroplast
Stromata
Tiny pores meaning mouth,
Stroma
A thick fluid in chloroplasts inner membrane, where calvin cycle occurs
Thylakoids
Interconnected membranous sacs
Grana
Many thylakoids
Reactants in light reactions
Light, water, CO2
Products of light reactions
Oxygen, NADPH, ATP
Reactants of Calvin Cycle
ATP, carbon dioxide, NADPH
Products of Calvin Cycle
G3P, NADP+, ADP
understand the relationship between photosyntheis and cellular respiration
each byproduct is uses by other to do their functions
describe the structure of chloroplasts
thylakoids, grana, stromata
