What are the two different types of photosynthesis?

oxygenic and anoxygenic

100

What is photolysis? 

The oxidation of a water molecule which then produces  electrons and oxygen gas.

100

What do plants release after absorbing CO2?

They release water and oxygen through stomata.

100

When do pigment molecules release electrons?

When a photon of light hits the reaction center

100

What is the Calvin Cycle?

three-step process that generates sugars for the plant

200

What happens to carbon dioxide during oxygenic photosynthesis?

It reduces CO2 during the process of light energy transferring electrons from H2O that are taken up by plant roots. 

200

What do Chloropasts do?

Make sugar during the process of phosynthesis, making light energy into chemical energy.

200

What is stomata?

microscopic pores on plants leaves

200

What is an example of a pigment molecule? 

Chlorophyll

200

What does 3-PGA stand for? What is it?

 3-phosphoglyceric acid, and it is an organic molecule.

300

What is produced along with oxygen? 

Carbohydrates 

300

In the process of what is oxygen produced as a byproduct? 

Photosynthesis

300

What happens when stomata closes?

It prevents water loss, but the plant cannot produce anymore CO2. 

300

What two things are required in the Calvin Cycle? 

ATP and NADPH

300

What is an enzyme RuBP carboxylase/oxygenase also known as?

Rubiso

400

What bacteria does Anoxygenic Photosynthesis usually happen in? 

Green sulfur bacteria and phototrophic purple bacteria. 
400

What is mitochondria? 

A membrane-bound cell who's chemical energy is stores in ATP. It's chemical energy is needed to power it's biochemical reactions.

400

What plants are negatively effected by the exchange of CO2 and oxygen? 

Plants that live in hot and dry places. 

400

How is the "electron hole" filled?

It is filled by taking an electron from water.

400

In between what steps during the Calvin Cycle does the plant start producing sugar and glucose? 

The second and third step of the cycle.

500

What is the oxygenic photosynthesis equation? 

6CO2 +  12H2O + Light Energy ---> C6H12O6 + 6O2 + 6H20

500

How is carbon dioxide reduced? 

Electrons from NADPH and ATP reduce carbon dioxide. 

500

What is Chlorophyll?

It is the primary pigment used for photosynthesis and gives plants their green color

500

What is the electron transport train? 

 a series of protein complexes linked together

500

How many CO2 molecules are needed to produce six G3P molecules?

Three.
