100
This is the photosynthetic organelle
What is the chloroplast?
100
These structures are chlorophyll-containing sacks found inside the chloroplasts
What are thylakoids?
100
These three groups are considered to be 'autotrophs'
What are 1) plants, 2) algae, and 3) bacteria?
100
These are organic molecules that absorb light energy from the sun
What are pigments?
100
This is the energy currency used by all living things
What is ATP?
200
These organisms cannot make their own food and must consume other organisms
What are heterotrophs?
200
This term describes the fluid-fulled space surrounding the thylakoids within the chloroplast
What is the stroma?
200
This is a waste product of photosynthesis
What is Oxygen gas?
200
These organisms are at the bottom of every food web on planet Earth
What are autotrophs/producers?
200
ATP stands for this
What is Adenosine TriPhosphate?
300
ADP stands for this
What is Adenosine DiPhosphate?
300
Give the chemical formula for glucose
What is C6H12O6?
300
This is the most important biochemical reaction occurring on planet Earth
What is photosynthesis?
300
This is where the majority of energy is within a single ATP molecule
What is 'in the bond between the second and third phosphate?'
300
These pigments are responsible for red/orange/brown colors in fall leaves, pumpkins, and carrots
What are carotenoids?
400
This process occurs during the ADP-ATP cycle and is responsible for adding a phosphate to a molecule
What is phosphorylation?
400
When ATP is broken down it becomes the following:
What is 1) ADP, 2) a free phosphate, and 3) chemical energy?
400
These are the REACTANTS of the photosynthesis equation
What are CO2, H2O, and light energy?
400
These are the two names for the first step of photosynthesis
What are 1) Light Reactions and 2) Light-Dependent Reactions?
400
List four reasons why all living organisms require energy
What is 1) movement, 2) growth and development, 3) reproduction, 4) metabolism?
500
These are the THREE names for the second step of photosynthesis:
What are the 1) Dark Reactions, 2) Light-Independent Reactions, and 3) Calvin Cycle?
500
The electron transport chain in photosynthesis occurs on this structure
What is the thylakoid membrane?
500
This process describes the cycling of energy between two different forms of a molecule
What is the ADP-ATP cycle?
500
Give three reasons why autotrophs are essential to all life on earth
What is 1) they produce the food, 2) they produce oxygen, 3) the remove carbon from the atmosphere?
500
