Honors Biology
Explain the terms/concepts below in detail so you will be able to apply them on the exam.
Photosynthesis – 18 Qs
1. PS equation including reactants, products, roles of energy and oxygen.
Be sure to know sequence of all reactions and relationship between reactants and products for all reactions
2. Electromagnetic spectrum (Fig 6.2), absorbed vs reflected light wavelengths (Figs 6.3, 6.4)
absorption spectrum vs action spectrum
3. Chloroplast, stroma, grana, thylakoid membrane (Figs 6.1, 6.6)
4. Light dependent reactions(Fig 6.8, 6.9, 6.10)
what are they, where do they occur, what are their reactants and products
5. Main products of the LDR? (i,e. Photosystems II, photosystem I, electron transport system
Where are they, what happens in each (i.e. reactants and products)
Role of photons, electrons and water, what does pumping H+ across thylakoid membrane accomplish
6. NADPH, ATP
What are they, how & where are they made and what do they do
7. How and why is oxygen released?
8. Calvin cycle (light independent reactions)
what is it, where does it occur, what are its reactants and products
RUBP, rubisco, Carbon fixation
