Pigments
Yellow-orange-red pigments in plants.
Carotenoids
This photosystem is used first in the process of photosynthesis.
Photosystem II
Dark reactions take place in this specific location.
Stroma
This organelle is where photosynthesis takes place.
Chloroplast.
This gas absorbs most harmful UV radiation in our atmosphere.
Oxygen
Blue-green pigment in plants.
Chlorophyll A
Light-dependent reactions of photosynthesis take place in this specific structure.
Thylakoid membrane.
Glucose is formed in this stage of photosynthesis.
Calvin Cycle.
These pancake-like structures are where the light reactions of photosynthesis take place.
Thylakoids
In Earth's history, when plants became more successful, this happened to the climate of Earth.
Cooled/ice age because of lower CO2 levels in atmosphere.
Yellow-green pigment in plants.
Chlorophyll B
Energy from the Electron Transport Chain is used to perform this function.
Pump H+ ions across the thylakoid membrane.
ATP is formed in this stage of photosynthesis.
Chemiosmosis.
Carbon dioxide enters a leaf through this structure.
Stomata.
This is the name for the time when photosynthesis changed the composition of the Earth's atmosphere, 2.5 billion years ago.
The Great Oxygenation Event.
This colour is reflected when a pigment absorbs red, orange and blue light.
Green
Electrons passed on to the electron transport chain are replaced using this compound and process.
Water by photolysis (splitting).
What 2 energy storage/transfer molecules are used to form glucose?
NADPH and ATP.
This is the name for the fluid/space inside a thylakoid.
Lumen
Cyanobacteria (like in stromatolites), perform photosynthesis, but do not have this structure.
Chloroplasts
The colour of the pigment in plants that is the only one directly involved in the reactions of photosynthesis.
Blue-green
Energy from Photosystem I is used to do this.
Form NADPH.
H+ ions are built up in this location, creating a positive charge.
Lumen of the thylakoid.
This reactant, which is vital for replenishing electrons moving through the ETC, enters the leaf through this structure.
Vascular tissue, Xylem.
The first plants (Domain Eukarya) on Earth did not have this structure.
Vascular tissue (xylem or phloem).
