Photosynthesis Objectives

We've been navigating through photosynthesis for a while now. How many of the following objectives can you do?

1. Describe the structure of the chloroplast, listing all membranes and
compartments.

2. Indicate where chloroplasts are located in plant cells and describe where most
chloroplasts are located in a leaf.

3. Explain how chloroplast structure relates to its function.

4. Write the summary equation for photosynthesis.

5. Explain the role of redox reactions in photosynthesis.

6. Describe the two main stages of photosynthesis in general terms.

7. List the three types of pigments involved in photosynthesis and how they are different.

8. List the wavelengths of light that are most effective for photosynthesis.

9. Describe the flow of electrons and hydrogen ions through the electron transport chain.

10. Explain the relationship between the light reactions and the calvin cycle with respect to ATP/ADP, Pi and NADP+ /NADPH

(We have yet to talk about C4 plants etc... at the end of the chapter. We will, we just haven't yet)
