Step-by-step solution for: Solved Bio 105: Ch 4 Photosynthesis Worksheet 1. Write the | Chegg.com
Problem: Solve the tasks in the provided worksheet related to photosynthesis.
#### Task 1: Write the overall reaction of photosynthesis. Label the reactants and products.
The overall equation for photosynthesis is:
\[
6 \text{CO}_2 + 6 \text{H}_2\text{O} + \text{Light Energy} \rightarrow \text{C}_6\text{H}_{12}\text{O}_6 + 6 \text{O}_2
\]
- Reactants:
- Carbon dioxide (\(\text{CO}_2\))
- Water (\(\text{H}_2\text{O}\))
- Light energy
- Products:
- Glucose (\(\text{C}_6\text{H}_{12}\text{O}_6\))
- Oxygen (\(\text{O}_2\))

#### Task 2: Draw a picture of a chloroplast. Label the thylakoid, grana, and stroma.
A chloroplast is a specialized organelle found in plant cells where photosynthesis occurs. Here is a description of how to draw and label it:
1. Outline the Chloroplast: Draw an oval shape to represent the chloroplast.
2. Inner Membrane and Outer Membrane: Draw two concentric lines inside the oval to represent the inner and outer membranes of the chloroplast.
3. Stroma: The space between the inner membrane and the thylakoid system is called the stroma. Label this area as "Stroma."
4. Thylakoids and Grana: Inside the stroma, draw several disk-like structures stacked together. These stacks are called grana (singular: granum). Label one of these stacks as "Grana." Each disk within the stack is a thylakoid. Label one of the disks as "Thylakoid."
Here is a simple representation:
```

#### Task 3: Place the words into the diagram.
The diagram provided represents the two main stages of photosynthesis: the light reactions and the Calvin cycle. Here is how to place the words into the diagram:
1. Light Reactions:
- Occur in the thylakoid membranes (green structure in the diagram).
- Inputs: Water (H₂O) and Light Energy.
- Outputs: ATP, NADPH, and Oxygen (O₂).
2. Calvin Cycle:
- Occurs in the stroma (blue structure in the diagram).
- Inputs: Carbon dioxide (CO₂), ATP, and NADPH.
- Output: Sugar (glucose).
Now, let's place the words into the diagram:
- Light: Connect to the sun icon.
- Water (H₂O): Connect to the light reactions (thylakoid membranes).
- Carbon dioxide (CO₂): Connect to the Calvin cycle (stroma).
- Light Reactions: Label the green structure as "Light Reactions."
- Calvin Cycle: Label the blue structure as "Calvin Cycle."
- ADP: Connect to the ATP production in the light reactions.
- NADP⁺: Connect to the NADPH production in the light reactions.
- Oxygen (O₂): Connect to the output of the light reactions.
- ATP: Connect from the light reactions to the Calvin cycle.
- NADPH: Connect from the light reactions to the Calvin cycle.
- Sugar: Connect as the output of the Calvin cycle.

Final Answer:
1. Overall Reaction of Photosynthesis:
\[
\boxed{6 \text{CO}_2 + 6 \text{H}_2\text{O} + \text{Light Energy} \rightarrow \text{C}_6\text{H}_{12}\text{O}_6 + 6 \text{O}_2}
\]
- Reactants: \(\text{CO}_2\), \(\text{H}_2\text{O}\), Light Energy
- Products: \(\text{C}_6\text{H}_{12}\text{O}_6\), \(\text{O}_2\)
2. Chloroplast Diagram: Draw as described above, labeling the thylakoid, grana, and stroma.
3. Diagram Labels:
- Light: Sun icon
- Water (H₂O): Thylakoid membranes
- Carbon dioxide (CO₂): Calvin cycle
- Light Reactions: Green structure
- Calvin Cycle: Blue structure
- ADP: ATP production in light reactions
- NADP⁺: NADPH production in light reactions
- Oxygen (O₂): Output of light reactions
- ATP: From light reactions to Calvin cycle
- NADPH: From light reactions to Calvin cycle
- Sugar: Output of Calvin cycle
