Photosystems
This photosystem was discovered first.
What is photosystem I?
The three general steps of the Calvin Cycle
What are carbon fixation, reduction, and regeneration?
Cell type that consists of sclereids and fibers.
What is sclerenchyma?
Malic acid is stored in this structure during CAM photosynthesis.
What is the vacuole?
The light-dependent reactions occur here.
What are the thylakoid membranes?
The enzyme that is used during carbon fixation.
What is rubisco?
The most common cell type found in most/all tissues.
What is parenchyma?
For 1 carbon, how many turns of the Calvin Cycle does it take to make 1 glucose?
What is 6 turns?
One of the main differences between PS I and PS II.
What is the wavelength of light they absorb?
The end molecule of 1 turn of the Calvin Cycle (2 combine to make glucose)
What is G3P?
Cells similar to companion cells that are found in phloem.
What are albuminous cells?
Spongy areas in the periderm that allow for air passage.
What are lenticels?
This process provides electrons for the photosystems and in turn releases oxygen
What is hydrolysis?
The two substrates Rubisco can use as a substrate during the Calvin Cycle.
What are CO2 and O2?
Cell type that is found in phloem but not in xylem.
What is sieve-tube elements?
The cortex is the primary tissue that gives rise to this.
What is the periderm?
How the photosystems gather light.
What is through the antenna complex or reaction center?
The amount of ATP needed to make one glucose.
What is 18?
Extensions of epidermis that have specific functions. (ex: root hair)
What are trichomes?
The structure that undergoes apoptosis between the heart and torpedo stage.
What is the suspensor?
