2. Organisms that cannot make their own food & must obtain energy from the foods they eat are called______.
List Examples;
3. Name the three parts of the ATP molecule.
4. When is energy released from the ATP molecule?
5. Be able to LABEL an ATP molecule!
6. Which scientists showed that plants need light to grow?
7. Photosynthesis uses sunlight to convert water & carbon dioxide into ______________ & ___________.
8. Light, _______________- & _______________ are used in the starting of the reaction for photosynthesis.
9. In the overall equation for photosynthesis, six molecules of carbon dioxide result in six molecules of _____.
10. Plants gather the sun’s energy with light-absorbing molecules called ______________.
11. Plants take in the sun’s energy by absorbing _______________.
12. Most plants appear green because chlorophyll does not ____________ green light.
13. A ______________ is a stack of thylakoids.
14. The _________ is the space that surrounds thylakoids.
15. Where in the chloroplast is chlorophyll found?
16. Where do light-dependent reactions take place?

18. The __________________ takes place in the stroma.
19. Glucose/high energy sugar is a product of the _______________cycle.
20. If carbon dioxide is removed from a plant’s environment, what would you expect to happen to the plant’s
production of high energy sugar? YOUR THINKING QUESTION…
21. List & describe the factors that affect the rate of photosynthesis.
22. In you continue to increase the intensity of light that a plant receives, what will happen?
23. USING SCIENCE SKILLS will have an experiment with a water plant and what happens when it is exposed
to light at different distances. This data will be graphed. You will have to interpret the data and will have to
determine the experimental control.
24. BE SURE TO STUDY THE PHOTOSYNTHESIS OVERVIEW drawing…you will be asked to interpret
information from this drawing…(can also be found in your book).
