Plant Cells
I am the organelle in a plant cell where photosynthesis happens.
Chloroplast
Light that is not absorbed by plants
Green Light
Consumes other organisms for food.
Heterotroph
I am the site where Stage 1 and Stage 2 of photosynthesis occur.
Thylakoid Membrane
I am another name given to Stage 3 of photosynthesis
Calvin Cycle or Light Independent Reaction or Carbon Fixation
I am the main pigment that absorbs light in plants
Chlorophyll
Wavelengths of light that are absorbed by plants
Red & Blue Light
Makes their own food
Autotroph
I am the source of electrons in photosynthesis
Water (H2O)
I am a reaction that loses electrons
Oxidation
The area in which the organelles 'swim' in inside the chloroplast.
Stroma
Which wavelength is considered to be the most energized for plant life?
Red/Violet
I am the site where stage 3 of photosynthesis occurs
Stroma
I am the principal energy that drives photosynthesis
ATP
I am the 3-carbon molecule that is used in light-independant reactions
G3P
A stack of photorecepting proteins that are used for photosynthesis.
Granum
Site where light is first absorbed during the light dependent reaction.
Photosystem II
I am a series of oxidation and reduction reactions that slowly release energy from electrons over various proteins.
Electron Transport Chain (ETC)
I am the electron carrying energy molecule
NADPH
I am the final energy storage molecule of photosynthesis
Glucose (c6 h12 o6)
A single section of the granum.
Thylakoid
I am a packet of solar energy that is absorbed by electrons in the photosystems.
Photon
I am the result of chemiosmosis
ATP
I am the product of photolysis that diffused out of the cell.
Oxygen (O2)
What are the 3 Reactants needed for Light-Independent Reactions
CO2, NADPH & ATP
