What raw materials (Reactants) are needed for photosynthesis?
Is energy absorbed (required) or released during photosynthesis?
Most of photosynthesis occurs inside of which organelle?
The pigment molecules (Chlorophyll) responsible for photosynthesis are located in the
Drag and drop the items below to label the picture of the chloroplast below with the stroma, grana, and thylakoid.
Thylakoids, stroma, and grana are all key components of the chloroplasts in plant cells, which are involved in photosynthesis. Here’s a breakdown of their differences:
Thylakoid: Thylakoids are membrane-bound compartments inside chloroplasts. They are flattened, disk-shaped sacs.
Stroma: The stroma is the fluid-filled space surrounding the thylakoids within the chloroplast. It’s a gel-like matrix.
Grana: Grana (plural of granum) are stacks of thylakoids. Each granum is a stack of multiple thylakoid membranes.
Which part of the leaf is responsible for gasses entering or leaving the leaf?
| Draggable item | arrow_right_alt | Corresponding Item |
|---|---|---|
light that is absorbed | arrow_right_alt | is the color we see |
light that is reflected | arrow_right_alt | is not seen |
Above is the Absorbance Graph for two Chlorophylls. The graph shows the percent of absorbance for each color of the visible light spectrum. Match the chlorophyll with the colors that they absorb most.
| Draggable item | arrow_right_alt | Corresponding Item |
|---|---|---|
chlorophyll a | arrow_right_alt | absorbs blue colors really well |
chlorophyll b | arrow_right_alt | absorbs red colors really well |
Using the absorption spectrum below of chlorophyll a, identify which colors of light are absorbed?
There are 3.
Using the absorption spectrum below of chlorophyll a, identify which colors of light are reflected (opposite of absorption)?
There are 3.
Using the following absorption spectrum for carotenoids, choose the two colors that are most absorbed by the carotenoid pigment.
