8.1 and 8.2 summary

8.1 Summary
-Chloroplast is the cellular organelle where photosynthesis take place. It contains chemical compounds called chlorophylls which gives the plants their green color.
Stroma is a thick fluid in the inner membrane which encloses.
Thylakoids are disk shaped sacks.
Photosynthesis takes place in cellular organelles called chloroplasts.
As in cellular respiration, the chemical equation for photosynthesis summarizes many reaction steps.
The light reactions convert the energy in sunlight to chemical energy.
There are two main stages of photosynthesis: the light reactions, which occur in the thylakoids and the Calvin cycle, which occurs in the stroma.
Later in this chapter, miniature versions, of this diagram will help keep you orientated as you study each stage.
8.2 Summary
Different forms of electromagnetic energy have different wavelengths.
Shorter wavelengths have more energy than longer wavelengths.
Distance between two adjacent waves is called the wavelength.
Long wavelengths are called the electromagnet spectrum.
Pigments is colors due to its chemical compounds.
Paper chromatography, you can observe the different pigments in a green leaf.
