Reactants and Products
This gas is taken in by the plant from the air to make sugars.
What is Carbon Dioxide
This specific stage of photosynthesis directly requires sunlight to split water molecules.
What are Light-Dependent Reactions
This green organelle is the specific site where photosynthesis takes place.
What is Chloroplast
Photosynthesis slows down or stops if this physical factor drops too close to freezing.
What is Temperature
These microscopic pores on the underside of leaves allow for gas exchange.
This gas is released into the atmosphere as a byproduct of photosynthesis.
What is Oxygen
This cycle is another name for the light-independent reactions.
This is the primary pigment that absorbs light energy inside the plant cell.
What is Chlorophyll
This graph curve levels off completely when light intensity passes the "saturation point."
What is the rate of Photosynthesis
This term describes organisms, like plants, that make their own food using sunlight.
What are Autotrophs.
This simple sugar is the primary food molecule produced by the plant.
What is Glucose
How is NADP+ converted into NADPH?
What is through reduction in the last stages of light dependent reactions.
These are the individual flattened, coin-like sacs where the light reactions occur.
What are Thylakoids
How does light intensity affect photosynthesis
What is it increases
What is the role of the stomata?
What is to allow carbon dioxide to enter and exit the cell.
Plants absorb this reactant through their roots to provide electrons and hydrogen.
What is Water
This 3-carbon sugar is the actual direct product of the Calvin Cycle, later used to make glucose.
What is known as G3P
This is a stack of thylakoids.
What is Granum
This specific color of visible light is mostly reflected by plants rather than absorbed.
What is green
What does chlorophyll do in a plant?
What is absorbing sunlight
When is oxygen produced?
What is after the light dependent reactions
What specific molecules are required to convert 3-phosphoglycerate into the high protein energy sugar G3P?
What is ATP and NADPH
This thick fluid surrounds the thylakoids and hosts the light independent reactions.
What is the Stroma
Why do plants grow differently in sunlight and shade?
What is due to the sunlight photosynthesizing plants.
Why are leaves green?
What is the amount of chlorophyll
