What is Adenine, Ribose, & Phosphates
100
This plant organelle holds the molecules for accepting solar energy so that photosynthesis can take place.
What is a chloroplast?
100
New electrons are created in the thylakoid membrane by splitting this into this.
What is a water molecule?
and what is 2 electrons, 2 Hydrogen ions and 1 oxygen molecule?
100
This reaction, independent of light is also known by two other names.
What is the Dark Reaction and the Calvin Cycle?
100
A plant grown only in yellow light will die because of this.
Photosynthetic pigments poorly absorb light in the yellow wavelength of the visible spectrum
100
These 4 are the reactants of the light dependent "side" of photosynthesis
Water, Light, ADP & NADP+
200
This is the process by which light energy is transformed to chemical energy
What is Photosynthesis?
200
Plants, algae and bacteria are examples of these
What are photosynthetic organisms?
200
This molecule carries 2 electrons plus a H+ ion and transforms into this molecule.
What is NADP+ and NADPH?
200
A series of electron carriers that shuttle high-energy electrons during ATP generating reactions.
What is the Electron Transport Chain?
200
These physical structures found on the underside of plant leaves are responsible for CO2 intake and expelling O2.
What are stomata?
200
These 3 are the products of the light independent reaction
Oxygen, ATP and NADPH
300
This type of organism provides it own food and is the "victim" of being eaten by this type of organism.
What is an Autotroph and a Heterotroph?
300
These double membrane sac-like photosynthetic membranes are arranged in stacks and are interconnected
What are thylakoids?
300
This process utilizes H+ ions which trigger rotation of ATP synthase which binds a phosphate group to ADP to create ATP.
What is Chemiosmosis?
300
These molecules numbered 1 & 2 are responsible for accepting solar energy and exciting electrons.
What are photosystems?
300
These 3 factors affect photosynthesis
What is Temperature, Light Intensity & Water?
300
These are the reactants of the light independent "side" of photosynthesis
CO2, ATP & NADPH
400
Active transport, moving cilia & flagella, muscle contraction, protein synthesis and response to chemical signals at the cell surface are ways cells do this.
What is use energy provided by ATP
400
Found in the thylakoid interior, this liquid like area is where the light independent reaction takes place.
What is the stroma?
400
This is Photosynthesis' chemical formula.
What is
6 CO2 + 6 H2O + Light > C6H12O6 + 6 O2 ?
400
This is when ions move from a high concentration to a low concentration.
What is diffusion?
400
Ice plants, Pineapples and Cacti convert CO2 to an acid to store for this type of photosynthesis during hot, dry weather.
What is CAM photosynthesis?
400
ADP, NADP+ and C6H12O6 are categorized as these in the light independent reaction
Products of the "Dark Side"
500
This is the most important compound that cells produce and utilize for energy
What is ATP?
500
These are the 3 phases of the Calvin Cycle
What are Carbon Fixation, Reduction and Regeneration?
500
In this condition the differences in electrical charge and the differences in H+ concentration across the thylakoid membrane sets the groundwork for ATP creation.
What is an electrochemical gradient?
500
The process where Rubisco and RuBP team up with Carbon Dioxide to create an unstable 6-carbon compound that immediately splits into 2 3PGA molecules.
What is Carbon Fixation?
500
This type of photosynthesis is an adaptation to allow plants like corn and sugarcane to photosynthesize even if there are very low levels of carbon dioxide.
What is C4 photosynthesis?
500
This is the chemical formula for sugar produced in the Calvin Cycle
What is C6H12O6 ?
600
These colors are responsible for absorption of the greatest amount of solar energy
What are Blue and Violet?
600
The Light Dependent Reaction and the Light Independent Reaction are representative of this.
What are two reactions of Photosynthesis?
600
Photosynthesis can be said to be a "devil" of a process because it has 3 "sixes" of molecules in this formula
6 CO2 + 6 H20 >light> C6H12O6 + 6 O2
600
This is where Photosystem I gets its electrons from
What is the ETC?
600
Glucose is assembled into this complex carbohydrate that makes up the cell walls of plant cells.
What is cellulose?
600
To produce 1 glucose molecule, the Calvin Cycle uses this number of Carbon Dioxide molecules and spin this many times.
What is 6 and 6?
