BIOLOGY 100 - EXAM 2 STUDY GUIDE
Capture energy from the sun - Correct Answers -Purpose of photosynthesis in plants?
chloroplasts - Correct Answers -What is the structure where photosynthesis occurs?
stoma (stomata) - Correct Answers -Openings that open and close where CO2 enters
the leaves (Plural is known as ______).
6CO2 + 12H2O + Light Energy -> C6H12O6 + 6H2O + 6O2 - Correct Answers -Overall
equation for photosynthesis
Carrier (shuttle) for Hydrogen atoms (to reduce power w/in calvin cycle and turn CO2
into glucose) - Correct Answers -What is the purpose of NADP?
Photosystem II, Photosystem I - Correct Answers -2 stages of photosynthesis
Create ATP and NADPH - Correct Answers -Overall purpose of light reactions
Thylakoids (bitch is a hoarder) - Correct Answers -Stacked columns, called grana, of
____ within chloroplasts where light reactions occur.
ATP (adenosine triphosphate) and NADPH (the electron carrier) - Correct Answers -
What products are generated from light reactions?
Calvin cycle - Correct Answers -Where to the products from light reactions go?
Chlorophyll molecules become excited from photon light, and react with other
chlorophyll molecules that push electrons to the reaction center - Correct Answers -How
do electrons move through the light reactions? (Part 1) (Describe)
Electron transport system sends electrons to create ATP, through the ATP synthase
enzyme (protein), and NADPH when attached (reduced) to NADP+ in the last phase of
the electron chain of the light reactions of photosynthesis. - Correct Answers -How do
electrons move through the light reactions (Part 2) (Describe)
Make glucose (and other sugars) - Correct Answers -Overall purpose of the Calvin
Cycle
stroma - Correct Answers -Where does the Calvin Cycle occur?
, 2 G3P (glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate) molecules, 2 ADP (adenosine triphosphate), and
2 NADP+ (Nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate) - Correct Answers -What are
the products of the Calvin Cycle (one turn)?
Six (6) - Correct Answers -How many CO2 molecules does it take to generate one
glucose?
Photosystem II's water-splitting enzyme - Correct Answers -Where do the electrons that
are moved through the light reactions come from?
[Visible Light!] aka photons: P680 and P700 - Correct Answers -What light is used for
photosynthesis?
Growth, development, and repair - Correct Answers -What is the purpose of cell
division?
mitosis in somatic cells (body cells) - Correct Answers -What is cell division used for?
uncoiled, uncondensed DNA and protein within the nucleus that make up chromosomes
- Correct Answers -What is chromatin?
Aid in separation of chromosomes for cell division(extend from each pole until attached
to a centromere at a disc of protein called a kinetochore) - Correct Answers -Purpose of
microtubules
Interphase, Mitosis, Cytokinesis - Correct Answers -The cell cycle (3)
Interphase - Correct Answers -First step in the Cell Cycle (aka Resting phase)
G1(Growth 1) - Correct Answers -[Interphase] Primary growth phase of the cell after
division. Most time is spent within this phase.
S (Synthesis) - Correct Answers -[Interphase] DNA replication occurs in preparation for
cell division
G2 (Growth 2) - Correct Answers -[Interphase] Further replication for cell division,
including replication of mitochondria and synthesis of microtubules.
Mitosis - Correct Answers -Second step in the cell cycle. Micro tubular apparatus binds
to the chromosomes and moves them apart.
Prophase - Correct Answers -M phase 1: Chromosomes condense and become visible,
nuclear envelope is torn down, and spindle fibers form made of microtubules
