PHOTOSYNTHESIS WEBQUEST PROJECT



PHOTOSYNTHESIS WEBQUEST PROJECT

Part 1

We are going to explore the different parts of photosynthesis. Before you can start this activity, you need to complete the following steps:

- Open a word document

- Type “Photosynthesis Web Quest” followed by your name

- Type all questions and answers

- Save the document to your user drive or a memory stick.

- If you saved it to your user drive make sure you email the document home to yourself!!

- Don’t forget to save your document every couple of questions!

- A hardcopy of the assignment and a submission to are due on Thursday, December 4, 2008

- Each question will be equally weighted for a total grade of 100 points. Late assignments will receive a 20 point deduction per day.

You may now visit the following sites, as well as any others that you find helpful.



1. What did Joseph Priestley find in 1780?

2. What did Jan Ingenhouse discover?

3. What did Jean Senebier find?

4. What else was necessary according to Theodore de Saussure?

5. State the overall reaction for photosynthesis.

6. What are the 2 different types of chlorophyll?

7. Why do the different colors of the leaves show up in the fall?

8. What is photosynthesis?

9. In which organisms does it take place?

10. What do plants need to make sugar?

11. Where is chlorophyll found?

12. Why does chlorophyll appear green?

14. What is the important by-product of photosynthesis?

15. How many glucose molecules can be produced per second in a plant?

16. What happens to any glucose that is not used by the plant?

17. How many chloroplasts are present per cell?

Still saving?



18. How long does it take for light to travel from the Sun to the Earth’s surface?

19. How long does it take the plant to process and store it in a chemical bond?



20. How is light captured by living things?

21. What are pigments?

22. What is the graph showing?

23. What are the 2 primary pigments in photosynthesis



24. What is the structural difference between chlorophyll a and b?



25. List all of the pigments, including their color, involved in photosynthesis in plants. What wavelengths of light does chlorophyll a, chlorophyll b, and xanthophyll absorb?

26. What organisms (other than plants) can sometimes undergo photosynthesis?



27. Photosynthesis can be divided into 2 parts. What are they?

28. Where do the light reactions take place?

29. What is the electron transport chain like?

30. What is the point of the light reactions?

31. What happens during the dark reactions?

32. Where does the Calvin cycle take place?

33. What happens to the three PGA molecules?



34. Who is shown in the picture?

35. When did he receive the Nobel Prize?

36. Why did he receive the Nobel Prize?



37. List the steps of photosynthesis.

38. The light reactions and the Calvin cycle are linked; the products of one reaction are used in the next reaction. Which molecules are produced in the light reactions and then used in the Calvin cycle?
