Overview of Photosynthesis Review Worksheet Key Concept: The overall process of photosynthesis produces sugars that store chemical energy. What is Chlorophyll? In what two parts of a chloroplast does photosynthesis take place? Write the chemical equation for the overall process of photosynthesis. Then explan what the equation means and identify the reactants, products, and the meaning of the arrows. The prefix photo- means and -synthesis means put together.” How do those ”light,” “to meanings tell you what happens during photosynthesis? The prefix chloro- means and the suffix means How are these meanings “green,” –phyll “leaf”. related to chlorophyll? Key Concept: Photosynthesis requires a series of chemical reactions. The first stage of photosynthesis captures and transfers energy. The second stage of photosynthesis uses energy from the first sage to make sugar. What are the differences between the light-dependent reaction (light reactions) and the reactions (dark reactions)? What does the word cycle tell you about the chemical reactions of the Calvin cycle? The prefix in- means How does this meaning tell you which reactions in photosynthesis “not”. require light, and which reactions do not? Look at the graph: It shows the amount of carbon dioxide in the air during different times of the day in Biosphere 2, an enclosed research and education center in Arizona. Interpret: What is the relationship between the time of day and the amount of carbon dioxide in the research facility? Infer: Using your knowledge of the process of photosynthesis, draw a conclusion about the pattern of the data.
