TERM 1
Photosynthesis
DEFINITION 1
a process that converts light energy into energy stored in the
bonds of simple sugars. The light energy drives the reactions
that reduces carbon dioxide to sugar by using the electrons
from water as it is "split" and oxygen is released. Those
sugars can then be used to build more complex molecules.
TERM 2
What are the requirements for
photosynthesis?
DEFINITION 2
H2O, CO2, chlorophyll and light energy
TERM 3
What are the products of photosynthesis?
DEFINITION 3
ATP, NADPH, O2, and glucose
TERM 4
What did you use to show CO2 is consumed?
DEFINITION 4
The Phenol red experiment
TERM 5
What was the indicator? What did it show?
DEFINITION 5
The indicator was Phenol red. It is used to show when CO2 is
present. When it is not present, it is red. When you add O2 it
turns yellow.
