LEARNING OBJECTIVES Chapter 7 Photosynthesis: Using Light to Make Food Upon completion of this chapter, the student will demonstrate mastery of the following objectives along with the related vocabulary. 1. Define photosynthesis, autotrophs, photoautotrophs, producers and heterotrophs. Briefly explain the benefits of photoautotrophs. 2. Describe the structure of a leaf and chloroplasts. 3. Describe the role of redox reactions in photosynthesis and cellular respiration. 4. State the chemical formula for photosynthesis. List the two stages, noting where each occurs. 5. Define photon. Describe the properties and functions of the different photosynthetic pigments. 6. Explain the two parts of a photosystem and explain how photosystems capture solar energy. 7. Describe the steps of the light reaction. List the reactants and products of the light reaction. 8. Define photophosphorylation. 9. List and describe the steps of the Calvin Cycle. List the reactants and products of the Calvin Cycle. 10. Explain how many turns of the Calvin Cycle are required to produce one glucose molecule. 11. Compare the mechanisms that C3, C4, and CAM plants use to obtain and use carbon dioxide. Provide examples of organisms that use each mechanism. 12. Explain the uses of the sugars made by photosynthesis.
