PLEASE DO NOT worry about memorizing all of the steps of the Calvin Cycle!!!! I just want you to know the GENERAL processes that occur. This study guide should help.... =) Chapter 7 - how long ago did photosynthesis evolve? what organisms were the first to photosynthesize? - what are the colors that are represented by visible light? what color has the shortest wavelength? highest energy? - what is the electromagnetic spectrum? - what is a pigment? chlorophyll a? b? xanthophyll? carotenoids? what wavelengths of light do they absorb? - draw the structure of a chloroplast and define all of its parts - draw the structure of a cross section of a leaf; identify all of the parts; where does photosynthesis take place? - what is the function of STOMATA? what is the function of the STROMA? where are each located? - know the results of the "Leaf Structures" lab - describe the steps in the LIGHT REACTIONS; where do they occur? what is the net gain? - describe the steps in the DARK REACTIONS (Calvin cycle); where do they occur? what happens to all of the glyceraldehyde phosphate (G3P) produced in the Calvin Cycle? how many turn do you need to make ONE glucose molecule? - know steps from "Calvin Cycle - Dark Reactions" handout we went over in class. - what's the difference between C3, C4 and CAM plants? - know results from "Chromatography" lab |
