Card preview (15)

#1
Front (Question)

function of chloroplasts

Back (Answer)

undergo photosynthesis to generate energy in forms of ATP

#2
Front (Question)

function of vacuoles

Back (Answer)

helps cell manage osmotic pressure

#3
Front (Question)

breakdown of mitochondrion

Back (Answer)

outer membrane inner membrane intermembrane space matrix space

#4
Front (Question)

components of chloroplast (6)

Back (Answer)

outer membrane inner membrane intermembrane space stroma thylakoid membrane thylakoid space

#5
Front (Question)

origin of chloroplasts

Back (Answer)

an early eukaryotic cell that possessed mitochondria engulfed a photosynthetic bacterium and retained it in symbiosis

#6
Front (Question)

symbiosis

Back (Answer)

close, long-term interaction between two different species living in direct association with one another

#7
Front (Question)

explain the electron transport chain (light reaction)

Back (Answer)

a photon of light knocks an electron out of a chlorophyll molecule which moves along the electron transport chain. part of the energy released by energy transfer is used to pump protons, creating a gradient across the thylakoid membrane, which is then used to drive ATP synthesis

#8
Front (Question)

explain the electron transport chain (dark reaction)

Back (Answer)

ATP and NADPH produced by light reaction drive the conversion of CO2 to carbohydrate in the stoma of chloroplast

#9
Front (Question)

cellulose is a ___ it forms ____ that are interwoven with ___ and ___ cross linked networks of ___ makes it ___ and ___

Back (Answer)

polysaccharide forms microfibrils that are interwoven with other polysaccharides and structural proteins cross linked network of lignin makes it more rigid and waterproof

#10
Front (Question)

turgor pressure and its function

Back (Answer)

as the result of an osmotic imbalance between the interior of the plant cell and its surroundings drives cell growth

#11
Front (Question)

where in plants is cellulose most abundant

Back (Answer)

cell wall

#12
Front (Question)

explain how ATP is synthesised in plants

Back (Answer)

proton gradient generated by the electron transfer during photosynthesis is harnessed by ATP synthase, which converts mechanical to chemical energy

#13
Front (Question)

explain how ATP synthase harnesses energy from the proton gradient

Back (Answer)

the proton gradient rotates the motor of the ATP synthase the rotational force provides energy to bind ADP with a phosphate group, producing an ATP molecule

#14
Front (Question)

where is ATP synthase found in cells

Back (Answer)

inner mitochondrial membrane and thylakoid membrane of chloroplasts

#15
Front (Question)

What cofactor is the electron donor for carbon fixation

Back (Answer)

NADPH
