What is visible light?
200
Ability of some membranes to use the H+ gradient to drive ATP formation.
What is chemiosmosis?
200
A consumer.
What is a heterotroph?
200

What is RuBP?
300
Yellow or orange pigment that serves as accesory to photosynthesis.
What is a carotenoid?
300
Contains a pigment complex and an electron acceptor; occurs as PSI and PSII.
What is a photosystem?
300
Organelle that carries out photosynthesis.
What is a chloroplast?
300
Reactions that occur when carbon dioxide is depleted and the enzyme RuBP carboxylase fixes oxygen instead of carbon dioxide.
What is photorespiration?
300
3- phosphoglycerate.
What is 3PG?
400
Spectrum produced when atoms absorb specific wavelengths of incoming light.
What is an absorption spectrum?
400
Involves both PSI and PSII and generates both ATP and NADPH.
What is the noncyclic electron pathway?
400
Enzyme carrying fluid found within chloroplasts.
What is stroma?

Plant that fixes carbon dioxide via the Calvin cycle.
What is a C3 plant?
400
1, 3-biphosphoglycerate.
What is BPG?
500
Takes place in the stroma of chloroplasts and can occur in the dark.
What is a Calvin Cycle Reaction?
500
Involves only PSI and generates ATP.
What is the cyclic electron pathway?
500
The flattened sac within a granum; contains chlorophyll.
What is a thylakoid?
500
