This is the plants principle pigment that plays a direct role in absorbing sunlight energy.
What is chlorophyll
100
This is the reactant that goes into the light-dependent reactions and creates oxygen as a product.
What is H2O
100
This is another name for the light-independent reactions
What is the Calvin cycle
100
These factors affect the rate of photosynthesis in plants
What is temperature, light intensity, water availability
200
This is the molecule that stores energy. It looks like ATP, except it has only 2 phosphate groups.
What is ADP
200
This is part of a plant cell where photosynthesis occurs.
What is the chloroplast
200
This happens to the electrons in chlorophyll as the sun's light is absorbed into the chloroplast.
What is gain energy
200
This is the reactant for the Calvin cycle and the product is 1 glucose molecule.
What is 6 carbon dioxide molecules
200
Plants that live in very hot and light intense environments do photosynthesis in a different way. They are able to capture lower levels of CO2 to make sugars.
What is C4 plants
300
These are the parts of an ATP molecule
What is adenine, ribose, and 3 phosphate groups
300
This is the area of the chloroplast where the light dependent reactions take place.
What is thylakoids
300
This is an electron carrier that can accept a pair of high energy electrons and transfer them to another molecule. It starts out as NADP+
What is NADPH
300
These molecules were generated in the light-dependent reactions but are used in the Calvin cycle.
What is ATP and NADPH
300
When water enters during the light-dependent reactions, these are used to replenish electrons that have been used in photosynthesis.
What is hydrogen ions
400
This is the place in photosynthesis that ADP is converted to ATP
What is the thylakoid during light dependent reactions
400
The area where the light-independent reactions take place.
What is the stroma
400
These are clusters of chlorophyll and proteins that absorb sunlight and create high-energy electrons. They begin the process of photosynthesis.
What is photosystems
400
When 6 CO2 molecules enter the Calvin cycle, they bond with six 5 carbon compounds and become six 6 carbon compounds. Then this happens...
What is divide into twelve 3 carbon compounds
400
This special protein in the thylakoid membrane allows hydrogen ions to pass through it and force it to rotate. As this happens ADP binds with another phosphate producing ATP.
What is ATP synthase
500
ATP releases energy this way
What is breaking a bond between the 2nd and 3rd phosphate group
500
The sun's wavelengths that photosynthesis uses and captures are this
What is visible light
500
This is in photosystem II and is a series of electron carrier proteins that shuttle high-energy electrons during ATP generating reactions.
What is the electron transport chain
500
Mid-cycle two 3 carbon compounds leave the Calvin cycle to do this
What is make glucose (sugars)
500
This is the photosynthesis equation
What is 6 CO2 + 6 H2O light energy 6 O2 + C6 H12 O6
