What is sunlight?
This catalyst of photosynthesis enters the leaves and is captured by pigments in the chloroplasts.
What is water?
The reactant of photosynthesis that contributes to the concentration gradient of the thylakoid
What is twice?
The amount of times that the Calvin Cycle occurs.
What are phospholipids?
The structures that make up the cell membrane.
What is violet?
The light reflected by the lowest wavelength of light.
What are photosystems?
These clusters of chlorophyll and proteins help harvest sunlight
What is oxygen?
This product of photosynthesis is considered a waste because it doesn't contribute to the production of glucose or the growth of the plant.
What is the stroma?
The area of the chloroplast where the Calvin Cycle occurs.
What are fats, proteins, carbohydrates, and nucleic acids?
The four major macronutrients that are found in living things.
What are oxygen, carbon, and hydrogen for?
The three atoms that make up carbohydrates.
What are CAM plants?
These types of plants close their stomata during the day, only opening them up at night
What is red, orange, or yellow?
Leaves in the fall absorb all colors except these
What is RuBP?
This 5-Carbon molecule resides in the stroma.
What is C6H12O6?
The chemical formula of glucose
what does it mean Photosynthesis?
The energy providing plant process that occurs in the chloroplasts.
What is chlorophyll?
This carotenoid absorbs all light, except green
What is the ETC?
This is where electrons come from in Light-Dependent Reactions
What does the Calvin cycle depend on?
ATP and NADPH from the light reactions.
What is an example of a cycle in biology?
the carbon cycle, the nitrogen cycle and the water cycle.
What is Chloroplasts?
This is the organelle where chlorophyll is stored
What is the NADP+ and ADP?
These are the last molecules to accept high energy electrons in the ETC
What are oxygen, ATP, and NADPH?
The three products of the light dependent reactions
What is the stroma?
CO2 enters through the leaf and diffuses throughout this part of the chloroplast.
What is a cycle in biology?
The Calvin Cycle
This would take place for a while even if there was no light.
