2. If you eat a candy bar and go for a long walk, not all the calories (energy) from the candy bar are used to power your walk. What happens to the chemical energy from the food that is not used for your movement?
3. If you wanted to get the most possible energy from photosynthetic algae, should you eat algae directly or feed algae to a cow, and then eat a burger made from that cow? Explain your answer.
4. Explain the steps of photosynthesis.
Light "Photo" reactions:
Carbon "Synthesis" reactions:
Where in the cell do the light reactions occur? (Be specific)
Where do the carbon synthesis reactions occur?
What is used to power the carbon synthesis reactions?
Where does this substance get its energy?
Where does the O2 given off by the photosynthesis reactions come from?
Where do the C atoms come from to produce glucose?
5. The pigment chlorophyll is green because green light is reflected by the pigment. What colors of light are absorbed strongly by the chlorophyll molecule to be used during the light reaction of photosynthesis?
