Alternative Methods
100
The color of visible light that is not used in photosynthesis.
What is green?
100
The openings for gas exchange on the bottom of a leaf.
What are stomata?
100

Why does Photosystem II come before Photosystem I?

The photosystems were namesd in the order that they were discovered. 

100
Another name for "light-independent reactions".
What is the Calvin Cycle?
100
The type of environment that will dehydrate a plant.
What is hot and dry?
200
What are the three reactants (inputs) of photosynthesis?

Light, CO2, and H2O.

200
The location of photosynthesis for the plant.
What are leaves?
200

What is the final electron acceptor in the light reactions?

What is NADP+

200
Location of the light-independent reactions.
What is chloroplast stroma?
200
The term for the damaging process whereby rubisco fixes atmospheric oxygen into the Calvin Cycle, instead of carbon dioxide.
What is photorespiration?
300

The term for a substance that has gained electrons in a reaction.

 NADP+ is __________ to NADPH when it gains two high energy electrons (2e-) and one proton (H+). 

What is reduced?

300
The organelle responsible for photosynthesis.
What is the chloroplast?
300

Electrons are exicted by Photosystem II and then transferred through the _______________.

Electron Transport Chain (ETC)

300
The enzyme that catalyzes the fixation of carbon dioxide.
What is rubisco?
300
These plants have an evolutionary adaptation whereby they convert carbon dioxide to a 4-carbon intermediate and back again, in order to provide rubisco exclusively with carbon dioxide.
What are C4 plants?
400
The main photosynthetic pigment.
What is chlorophyll a?
400

This part of the chloroplast contains chlorophyll and absorbs light energy from the sun. 

It is the site of the light-dependent reactions.

What is Thylakoid Membrane

400

How are electrons replaced once they move through Photosystem II?

Photolysis

(Splitting of water by light)

400

Which two products from the light reactions power the Calvin Cycle?

What are ATP and NADPH

400
In C4 plants, these cells are closest to the leaf vein, and furthest away from the exterior leaf, and the atmospheric oxygen.
What are bundle-sheath cells?
500

What are the two products of Photosynthesis?

What are Oxygen and Glucose.

500

This is the fluid filled area of the chloroplast where the Calvin Cycle (light-independent reactions) occur.

What is the stroma.

500

Which enzyme produces ATP as H+ Protons are pumped across the thylakoid membrane. 

What is ATP Synthase.

500

What is fixed during the Calvin Cycle?

Carbon from CO2. 

500
These plants have evolved to cope with environments unfavorable to photosynthesis by using temporal separation of metabolic cycles.
