Document Summary

* what type of chem reaction is photosynthesis: endergonic. Chlorophyll: the green pigment that gives leaf its color, pigment, any molecule that absorbs physical light, also responsible for the absorption of the light energy that drives photosynthesis. Co2 and h20 enter the leaf thru pores called stomata or stoma. Water is absorbed by the rods and transported to the leaves thru the vascular bundles. Chloroplasts contain the thylakoids and the stroma (fluid) Thylakoids: are where the light dependent reactions occur. Photosynthesis: consists of 2 different reactions, one that"s light dependent- thylakoid, one that is light independent- stroma, the 2 diff reactions occur in diff regions of the chloroplast. Light dependent reactions: sunlight is converted into chem energy that"s stored in energy- carrier molecules called atp and nadph, oxygen is released as a byproduct, occurs in the thylakoid membranes. Light is electromagnetic energy: light energy has both wavelike and particle like properties.

Chlorophyll is a pigment that absorbs specific wavelengths of light, and the absorption of that light leads to the passage of electrons to a higher energy state, where chemical energy can then be harvested from them. You would expect that a plant exposed to which color of light would produce the most photosynthesis?

Which color of light would you expect chlorophyll to absorb the least?

Most plants are green because....

chlorophyll absorbs green light well

chlorophyll does not absorb green light well

chlorophyll reflects green light well

both of the last two answers are correct
