Questão | Responda |
What Is Food Security? | Food security is the ability of human's population to access food of sufficient quality & quantity. |
What Factors Need To Be Fulfilled For Food Production To Be Possible? | Food production must be sustainable and not degrade the natural resources |
What Factors Do Agricultural Production Depend On? | Factors that control photosynthesis & Plant growth |
What Factors Control Plant Growth? | •Breeding higher yielding cultivars •Use of fertilisers •Protection of crops from pests, disease & competition |
Why Do Livestock Produce Less Energy Per Unit Of Area Than Crop Plants? | Du to loss of energy between tropic levels |
How Do The Amount Of Organisms Affect The Energy Passed On? | The more organisms in a food chain the less energy is passed on |
Where Is Livestock Possible? | Livestock production is usually possible in habitats not suitable for crop production |
What Three Things Happen To Rays Involved In Photosynthesis? | They're; •Reflected - bounce of the leaf •Transmitted - Pass through the leaf •Absorbed - Used for energy |
What Does The Absorption Spectrum Do? | An absorption spectrum shows the ability of different photosynthetic pigments absorption of different wavelengths of light |
What Are The Main Photosynthetic Pigments? | •Chlorophyll A •Chlorophyll B |
What Do Accessory Pigments Do? | They extend the wavelengths of light absorbed |
What Are Accessory Pigments Called? | Cartenoids; •Xanthophyll •Carotene |
How Do They Do This? | They absorb light energy & pass it to chlorophyll for photosynthesis |
Where Does Chlorophyll Mainly Absorb Light? | In the blue and red regions |
What Is An Action Spectrum? | An action spectrum shows the ability of photosynthetic pigments to bring about photosynthesis at different wavelengths |
Why Is Photosynthesis Higher In Yellow/green Regions In Action Spectrums? | This is due to accessory pigments extending the wavelengths of light being absorbed |
Where Does Photosynthesis Occur? | In The Chloroplast |
How Many Stages Are In Photosynthesis? | Two; •Light Dependent Stage •Temperature Dependent Stage |
What Type Of Light Can Be Used In Photosynthesis? | Absorbed Light |
What Do Absorbed Light Do To Electrons In The Light Dependent Stage? | Absorbed light excites electrons in the pigment molecule |
What Do The Electrons Do Once Excited? | The high energy electrons pass through an electron transfer chain. |
What Do Electrons Do In The Electron Transport Chain? | They release energy & are used to regenerate ATP from ADP + Pi by ATP synthase |
What Happens To Some Of The Energy? | Some energy is used to split water into hydrogen & oxygen |
What Happens To Oxygen? | Oxygen is evolved and passes through the air |
What Happens To Hydrogen? | Hydrogen is bound to the hydrogen carrier NADP forming NADPH |
How Is 3-PG Formed? | CO2 is fixed To RuBP by the enzyme rubisco forming three-phosphoglycerate |
How Is G3P Formed? | 3-PG is phosphorylated by ATP & combined with hydrogen from NADPH forming Glyceradelyde-3-phosphate |
What Is G3P Used For? | G3P Is used to regenerate RuBP & in the synthesis of Glucose |
