Under which condition will a plant grow better: under red light, or under green light? Explain.- Its red light because chloroplast is what makes the plant green so a color on the opposite color spectrum will absorb more of it and grow better. 

2. What gas do plants take in and release?- carbon dioxide is taken in and oxygen is released.

3.What is the equation for photosynthesis in words and numbers?-six carbon dioxide molecules and six water molecules are converted by light captured by chlorophyll into a sugar molecule and six oxygen molecules. SR - 6CO2 + 6H2O –(light)--> C6H12O6 + 6O2

4.When light strikes a chlorophyll molecule, what happens to the electrons? -It energizes electrons within the molecule and then they jump to higher energy levels. They have absorbed or captured, and now carry that energy.]]> 2022-05-17 16:23:19 UTC https://padlet.com/2025corbink/o2viecf55xfh526g/wish/2187933871 2025corbink https://padlet.com/2025corbink/o2viecf55xfh526g/wish/2187939006 2022-05-17 16:26:07 UTC https://padlet.com/2025corbink/o2viecf55xfh526g/wish/2187939006 2025corbink https://padlet.com/2025corbink/o2viecf55xfh526g/wish/2187940525 2022-05-17 16:27:06 UTC https://padlet.com/2025corbink/o2viecf55xfh526g/wish/2187940525 2025corbink https://padlet.com/2025corbink/o2viecf55xfh526g/wish/2187941486 2022-05-17 16:27:39 UTC https://padlet.com/2025corbink/o2viecf55xfh526g/wish/2187941486 2025corbink https://padlet.com/2025corbink/o2viecf55xfh526g/wish/2187942305 2022-05-17 16:28:09 UTC https://padlet.com/2025corbink/o2viecf55xfh526g/wish/2187942305 2025corbink https://padlet.com/2025corbink/o2viecf55xfh526g/wish/2187946250 2022-05-17 16:30:25 UTC https://padlet.com/2025corbink/o2viecf55xfh526g/wish/2187946250 2025corbink https://padlet.com/2025corbink/o2viecf55xfh526g/wish/2187946866 2022-05-17 16:30:50 UTC https://padlet.com/2025corbink/o2viecf55xfh526g/wish/2187946866 2025corbink https://padlet.com/2025corbink/o2viecf55xfh526g/wish/2187949181 2022-05-17 16:32:20 UTC https://padlet.com/2025corbink/o2viecf55xfh526g/wish/2187949181 Vocabulary 2025corbink https://padlet.com/2025corbink/o2viecf55xfh526g/wish/2187958777 1. Autotrophs - TP Organisms that make their own food
2. Heterotrophs - LP Organisms that must obtain energy from the foods they consume
3. Chloroplast - An organelle found in plant cells where photosynthesis takes place. 
4. Pigment - AR, light absorbing molecules that plants use to gather the sun's energy.
5. Chlorophyll - HC-The main pigment in plants. 
6. ATP - a chemical compound that cells use to store and release energy
7. NADPH - product of light reactions and helps fuel reactions in the Calvin Cycle by carrying electrons.
8. Electron carrier molecule - Various molecules that accept 1 or more molecules and give them to another process electron transport. GB
9. Thylakoid - sac-like membranes in the chloroplasts
10. Granum - RP One of the lamellar stacks of chlorophyll- containing thylakoids found in plant chloroplasts.

With knowledge about plants you can know what a plant needs to grow like water, light, and carbon dioxide. With the knowledge you can also know about the bodies energy like atp and adp.]]> 2022-05-17 16:47:11 UTC https://padlet.com/2025corbink/o2viecf55xfh526g/wish/2187974245 additional information 2025corbink https://padlet.com/2025corbink/o2viecf55xfh526g/wish/2187980045
  • The bond that is broken in an ATP molecule is between two parts of the ATP? - Between two phosphate groups.
  • Why do most plants appear green? - They do not absorb green light.
  • When light strikes a chlorophyll molecule, what happens to the electrons? - It energizes electrons within the molecule and then they jump to higher energy levels. They have absorbed or captured, and now carry that energy. 
    • 4. What makes a molecule like NADP+ an “electron carrier”?   - It carries electrons to provide energy for other processes, like the Calvin Cycle
