Hodge Podge
100
A gas made by photosynthesis and released by plants.
What is oxygen?
100
You'd be foolish to buy a light bulb this color in order to help grow plants indoors.
What is green?
100
In our lab, formation of this gas caused the leaves to become buoyant again.
What is oxygen?
100
Photosynthetic organisms derived their carbon from this source.
What is carbon dioxide?
100
These are three (specific) examples of photoautotrophs.
What are ...
(specific plants or algae names)
200
An enzyme that adds a phosphate group to ADP to make ATP.
What is ATP synthase?
200
Why do electrons experience photoexcitation?
Electrons absorb light.
200
This can be said about the correlation between global temperature and global carbon dioxide concentration in the last 100 or so years.
What is a correlation between the two - as carbon dioxide rose, so did temperature?
200
What is another name for the Light Independent Reactions?
The Calvin Cycle
200
The oxygen released into the air as a product of photosynthesis comes from this molecule.
What is water?
300
The name for the openings in leaves that allow gases and water to enter and leave.
What are stomata?
300
The light-dependent reactions occur in this part of the chloroplast.
What are the thylakoids?
300
The purpose of light-independent reactions is this.
What is to make glucose?
300
Though it's a cycle, we can picture that the first part of the light-independent reactions occurs when carbon dioxide combines with this molecule.
What is RuBP?
300
Plants such as grasses and sugarcane that leave their stomata partially open during the day use this pathway of photosynthesis.
What is C4?
400
An electron carrier that donates a hydrogen and high-energy electrons.
What is NADPH?
400
The light-dependent reactions wouldn't function without the addition of this molecule, obtained by plant roots.
What is water?
400
2 molecules of glucose would require this many carbon dioxide molecules to make
What is 12?
400
The Calvin Cycle occurs in this part of the chloroplast.
What is the stroma?
400
Plants such as cacti open their stomata only at night in an effort to avoid losing water. This is the term for their photosynthesis pathway.
What is CAM?
500
A bundle of pigments and lipids found in the thylakoid membrane.
What is a photosystem?
500
The light-dependent reactions function by capturing the sun's energy and storing it in these molecules.
What are ATP & NADPH?
500
Mitochondria transfer chemical energy from food into ATP; chloroplasts transform this type of energy into the chemical energy of ATP.
What is light?
500
If 6 molecules of CO2 were to enter the Calvin cycle simultaneously, this many molecules of G3P would leave to form glucose.
What is two?
500
What happens when stomata are closed? Why?
Plants cannot obtain CO2 and photosynthesis stops.
