100
Pigments capture the energy's sunlight with photosynthetic organisms.
What is the role of pigments in the photosynthesis process?
100
ATP and NADPH from the light dependent reactions are used to produce high energy sugars.
What happens during light independent reactions?
100
Light absorbing molecules that plants gather the sun's energy with these
What are pigments?
100
These reactions require light's direct involvement and light's absorbing pigment
What are light independent reactions?
100
Plants are an example of this type of organism
What is an example of an autotroph?
200
They reflect green and absorb all other colors.
Why do leaves mostly appear green?
200
They use energy from the sun to produce oxygen and convert ADP and NADP+ to ATP and NADPH
What happens during light dependent reactions?
200
The plant's principal pigment
What is chlorophyll?
200
ATP and NADPH molecules produced from light dependent reactions are used to produce high energy sugars from carbon dioxide
What are light dependent reactions?
200
Carbon fixation pathway envolved in some plants as an adaptation for arid conditions. ex:pineapple trees
What are CAM Plants?
300
Photosynthesis uses the energy of sunlight to convert water and carbon dioxide (reactants) into high energy sugars and oxygen (products).
What are the reactants and products of photosynthesis?
300
Plants use the energy that ATP and NADPH contain to build stable high energy carbohydrate compounds that can be stored for a long time.
What is the Calvin Cycle?
300
saclike photosynthetic membranes
What are thylakoids?
300
clusters of chlorophyll and proteins
What is a photosystem?
300
Known as the 4 carbon molecule present in first product of in small subsets of plants.
What is C4 carbon fixation?
400
Temperature, light intensity and availability of water
What factors affect photosynthesis?
400
Plants convert the energy from the sunlight into chemical energy.
What is the photosynthesis process?
400
The fluid like portion of the chloroplast
What is the stroma?
400
A series of electron carrier proteins that shuttle high energy electrons during ATP generating reactions
What is an electron transport chain?
400
Carbon Dioxide + Water-------->Sugars + Oxygen light energy
What is the equation for photosynthesis in words?
500
This is a compound that can accept a pair of high energy electrons. It transfers them along with most of their energy to another molecule.
What is an electron carrier?
500
As a candle is burnt, energy is released into these forms
What are light and heat?
500
It accepts and holds 2 high energy electrons.
What is Nicotinamide Adenine Dinucleotide Phosphate? NADP+
500
A protein that spans the membrane and allows H+ ions to pass through
What is ATP Synthase?
500
6CO2+6H20------------->C6H12O6+6O2 light energy
