Light Reactions
These are flattened membrane sacs arranged in stacks inside the chloroplast
Thylakoid membranes
The process of putting energy and electrons into inorganic carbon dioxide to form organic materials
Carbon fixation
Plants, algae, and cyanobacteria are all _________. They can create organic products from inorganic substances
Autotrophs
Which continent is the smallest by area?
Australia
What color wavelength do the pigments within the granum (thylakoid stack) reflect?
Green
What are the inputs and outputs of the Calvin cycle?
In: Carbon dioxide and energy
Out: Sugar and NADP+/ADP
Where is the site of photosynthesis on the plant?
Leaves
Which zodiac sign is commonly represented by the Twins?
Gemini
Where does atmospheric oxygen come from in photosynthesis?
Splitting of water
Where does the Calvin Cycle occur?
Stroma (inner space of chloroplasts)
As electrons move through Light Reactions, H+ is pumped into the thyalkoid lumen. In order to re-enter the stroma, H+ must move through the enzyme ATP synthase. What is this process called?
Chemiosmosis
Which planet has the fastest winds in the solar system?
Neptune
Pigments are substances that can absorb light. Where are they found in the chloroplast?
Thylakoid membrane, specifically within photosystems
What molecule can accept CO2, allowing it into the Calvin Cycle? This molecule is also regenerated at the end of the Calvin cycle.
RuBP (Ribulose biphosphate)
