Energy
This is an organism that has to consume plant and animal matter to obtain energy.
What is a heterotroph?
This is the type of cell that chloroplasts are found in
What is a plant cell?
This is the product of photosynthesis that humans breathe in
What is O2?
What is the thylakoid?
This is the main and most important product of the Calvin cycle
What is G3P, or glucose, or sugar?
This is the process by which autotrophs convert CO2, H2O and light into glucose and O2
What is photosynthesis?
This is the name of the clear, fluid like substance outside the thylakoids where the Calvin cycle occurs
What is the stroma?
This is the unit of energy sent from the light reactions to the Calvin cycle
What is ATP?
In the beginning of the light reactions, this molecule is split to produce protons
What is water?
This is what the Calvin cycle takes in that doesn't come from the light reactions
What is CO2?
This is a special form of potential energy stored in bonds
What is chemical energy?
This is what the chloroplast is maximizing by stacking Membranes, similar to the folds of membrane in the mitochondria
What is surface area of membrane?
This is name for the pores where gas exchange enters the leaf
What is the stomata?
This is the name of the complexes where sunlight hits and electrons are energized
What are Photosystems (I and II)?
This is what the Calvin cycle releases back to the light reactions once it uses the energized electrons
This is the process by which organisms convert C6H12O6 and O2 into ATP, CO2 and H2O
What is Cellular Respiration?
This is the name for a stack of thylakoid membranes
What is granum (grana)?
This is the carrier for energized electrons that brings them from the light reactions to the Calvin cycle
What is NADPH?
This is the type of membrane transport that pumps hydrogen ions into the thylakoid space
What is active transport?
This is how many turns of the Calvin cycle it takes to make one molecule of glucose?
What is two?
This is what is left when the molecule of ATP releases its energy.
What is ADP +P?
This is an organelle that is sometimes in the chloroplast
What is a ribosome?
What is the overall equation for photosynthesis (balanced)
6H2O + 6CO2 + light energy = C6H12O6 + 6O2
This is the enzyme that turns NADP+ into NADPH by giving it 2 e- and one H+
What is NADP+ reductase?
This is the enzyme that takes RuBP and fixes CO2, forming a six carbon molecule that soon splits into 3-PGA?
What is Rubisco?
