BSC 108 EXAM 2 STUDY GUIDE 2025 QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS Know the process of photosynthesis - ....ANSWER ...-photosynthesis captures light energy from the sun and converts it to chemical energy stored in sugars and other molecules. General equation for photo synthesis - ....ANSWER ...-water + carbon dioxide + light energy--> glucose + oxygen 6H2O + 6CO2 + light energy--> C6H12O6+ 6O2 Know where water and carbon dioxide enters plants - ....ANSWER ...-Water enters plants through their roots and carbon dioxide enters plants through pores in the leaf called stomata Know where photosynthesis occurs and the structure of this organism ....ANSWER ...-Photo... occurs in chloroplasts: the structure of a chloroplast (stroma, thylakoid membrane, grana, inner and outer membrane) Know where chlorophyll molecules are located and their primary function ....ANSWER ...-Chlorophyll molecules are embedded in the inner thylakoid membrane and their primary function in a plant is to absorb light—usually sunlight. Be able to compare and contrast the light dependent reactions and the Calvin cycle (light independent) reactions; understand the basic inputs and outputs of each reaction. - …FOR STUDENTS ONLY…©️2025 ALL RIGHTS RESERVED… 1
