Photosynthesis I
What is split in light reaction?
water
The source of oxygen produced during photosynthesis
What is water
Suspended in the fluid stroma of chloroplasts these stacks of thylakoids are also known as
What is grana
They enter the electron transport chain when raised to a high energy level
What are electrons of a chlorophyll molecule
generates glucose, can occur in both light and dark conditions, and requires ATP and NADPH
What is The calvin cycle of photosynthesis
(light independent phase)
The source of energy for all living things on earth
What is the sun
The enzyme that is responsible for carbon fixation in the Calvin Cycle
What is RuBisCo.
(Ribulose Bisphosphate Carboxylase)
Penta Jeopardy = 5X points
Is important in photosynthesis because it provides carries electrons
What is NADPH
When are some of its electrons raised to a higher energy level when this chlorophyll molecule does this?
When it absorbs light
The removal of G3P in order to make glucose, is from which phase?
What is the calvin cycle
The process whereby plants capture energy and make complex molecules
What is photosynthesis
its role is to absorb light energy
What is The role of chlorophyll in the photosynthesis process
A process which occurs in the thyakoid membrane that converts captured light energy into chemical energy
What is light reaction
When striking an object this source may be reflected, absorbed or transmitted
What is light
Give the name of the enzyme which is responsible for the capturing Carbon dioxide?
Rubisco
Organisims that can consume other organisims for energy
What is Heterothrophs
it reflects green wavelengths of light
What is chlorophyll
the cluster of chlorophylls
Photosystem
What are eventually replaced by electrons from photosystem II
The second stage of photosynthesis in which glucose is manufactured
What is the calvin cycle
What is the reason that 5 3C molecules of G3p get changed by 9 enzymes into 3 5C molecules?
regeneration of RuBP (Ribulose 1-5 Bisphosphate)
Double Jeopardy = 2X points
Some of its electrons are raised to a higher energy level when this happens
What is when a chlorophyll molecule absorbs light
All organic molecules can ultimately be traced back in the food chain to this
What is carbon dioxide from the atmosphere
The major atmospheric byproduct of photosynthesis
What is Oxygen
Congratulations. You get a free question worth 500 points
Just kidding. What is the name of the enzyme that is responsible for the reduction part of the Calvin Cycle?
