Photosynthesis
What is the process by which light energy is converted to chemical energy.
200
A spectrum of colors.
What is a visible spectrum?
200
Pigments that absorb light.
What is chlorophyll?
200
Enables plants to capture more of the energy in light
What is the function of accessory pigments.
200
A cycle in light-independent reactions.

Chlorophyll a
What absorbs mostly red light and is directly involved in the light reactions of photosynthesis
300
Carotenoid
What is a type of accessory pigment?
300
Light-dependent and light-independent reactions
What are the two types of light reactions?
400
The two main compartments of chloroplasts
What are thylakoids and stroma?
400
Absorbed, reflected or transmitted
What are the three ways light energy strike an object?
400
Absorbs mostly blue light and assists chlorophyll a in capturing light energy.
What is chlorophyll b.
400

False
True or False: Black reflects all colors while White absorbs all colors and doesn't reflect ant back
500
Chlorophyll.
What do chloroplasts contain?
500
True, the breakdown of chlorophylls allows the plant to show of red, orange, and yellow.
True or False: Autumn, plants break down chlorophylls and allow leaves to show the colors of the carotenoids.
