Light reactions
the function of a photosystem
What is to absorb various wavelengths of light?
one of the overall reactants in photosynthesis needed to start the dark reactions
What is CO2?
What are stomata?
the white minty center of the junior mint OR the place where the water is split
What is the thylakoid space?
the main pigment needed for photosynthesis
What is chlorophyll a?
the products of the light reactions
What is ATP and NADPH?
the process by which gaseous carbon dioxide gets incorporated into an organic molecule
What is carbon fixation?
types of cells where photosynthesis occurs
What are mesophyll cells?
Where the dark reactions take place
What is the stroma?
the wavelengths of light reflected by xanthophylls
What are yellow?
Process by which ATP is made during the light reactions?
What is chemiosmosis?
How many times the Calvin cycle has to spin to create one glucose molecule
What is 2?
these are concentrated more on the underside of a leaf
What are stomata?
A stack of thylakoids
What is a granum?
a collection of them in the thylakoid membrane
What is a photosystem?
The O2 we breathe was once part of what molecule?
What is H2O?
The enzyme, RuBisCO brings together what two substrates in the Calvin cycle?
What is RuBP and CO2?
these cells regulate the opening of the stomata
What are guard cells?
name of the theory that can explain why a chloroplast has two membranes
What is the theory of endosymbiosis?
pigment with the greatest Rf value in the chromatography lab
What is carotenoid?
function of ATP and NADPH?
What is to power the Calvin cycle?
RuBisCO is bad at its job because it can also accept this molecule
What is O2?
tissue that will transport glucose to other parts of the plant
What is vascular tissue?
name of the process that allows the chloroplasts to move from one cell to another in Elodea
What is cytoplasmic streaming?
the most polar of the pigments separated in the chromatography lab
What is chlorophyll a?
