Photosynthesis - Quiz 4 - Bio Lab

What is the equation for photosynthesis?

• C6H12O6 + 6O2 → 6CO2 + 6H2O

• 6CO₂ + 6H₂O + light → C₆H₁₂O₆ + 6O₂

• Carbon → oxygen

• Oxygen → carbon

• Denies electrons

• Used as NADPH

• Used as NADP+

What is the importance of a spectrophotometer?

• Measures the reflection of light (of a specified wavelength) reflected by your solution

• Measures the absorbance of light
  (of a specified wavelength)
  absorbed by your solution

• Calculates the rate of cellular respiration

• 

What does a blank cuvette used for? (in the experiment)

• Used to calibrate the spectrophotometer
