The pigment in plants that is responsible for photosynthesis.
What is chlorophyll
100
Tiny organelles located inside of plant cells where photosynthesis takes place.
What are chloroplasts.
100
The molecule that is taken in and split, using light energy (photons), during photosynthesis. Hint - this creates energy and frees up a hydrogen atom.
What is water H2O.
100
The molecule that is taken-in and split during this phase of photosynthesis.
What is carbon dioxide, or CO2.
100
The name of the two molecules that are the reactants, the initial ingredients, of the photosynthesis equation, or process.
What are water and carbon dioxide.
200
The wavelengths or colors of the visible light spectrum that are reflected by chlorophyll.
What is green - or 500-600 nm.
200
Tiny disks that absorb light and contain the pigment chlorophyll.
What are thylakoids.
200
The molecule that is given off as a waste product during this reaction.
What is oxygen.
200
The form of energy that is used to split carbon dioxide (CO2) during this phase of photosynthesis.
What is ATP.
200
The name of the two molecules that are the products of the photosynthesis equation or process.
What are glucose and oxygen.
300
The colors or wavelengths of the visible light spectrum that are ABSORBED by chlorophyll.
What are purple, blue, yellow, orange, and red. 400-500 nm and 600-750 nm.
300
The fluid area inside the chloroplast.
What is stroma.
300
The site inside the chloroplast where the light-dependent reaction takes place.
What is thylakoid.
300
The molecule that is created, or produced, during this phase of photosynthesis.
What is glucose.
300
The chemical formula for glucose.
What is C6H12O6.
400
What happens to light when a pigment takes in the certain wavelengths from the visible light spectrum.
What is absorption.
400
The structure within a chloroplast that is the site where green light is reflected (the area of responsible for the green color we see).
What is thylakoid.
400
The other thing beside a free hydrogen atom that is created during this reaction.
What is ATP, or chemical energy.
400
This element is added in during this phase to create the final product of photosynthesis.
What is hydrogen.
400
If you increased the amount of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere, and sunlight was readily available, the molecule that plants would increase their consumption of would be...
What water, or H2O.
500
What happens to the red colors or slower wavelengths of visible light that are normally absorbed by the chlorophyll pigment in the fall.
What is reflected.
500
The membrane that surround the chloroplast and separates its internal environment from the rest of the plant cells environment is composed of this type of macromolecule.
What is lipid.
500
The air we breath comes from what reactant or molecule that plants take in?
What is water or H2O.
500
The region of the chloroplast where this phase takes place.
What is the stroma.
500
A decrease in the amount of visible light striking the surface of the Earth would decrease these the amount of these two molecules being produced.
