Energy & Organisms
These organisms make their own energy using sunlight or chemicals.
What are autotrophs?
These two substances enter the chloroplast to begin photosynthesis.
What are carbon dioxide and water?
These reactions include photon absorption, electron transport, water splitting, and ATP/NADPH production.
What are the light reactions?
This cycle uses carbon dioxide to build glucose.
What is the Calvin cycle
This is the formula for photosynthesis.
What is CO2+H2O->O2+glucose
These organisms must consume other organisms to obtain energy.
What are heterotrophs?
This gas is released as a byproduct when water molecules are split during photosynthesis.
What is oxygen?
This event excites electrons in chlorophyll and begins the light reactions.
What is light striking the chloroplast?
These two energy-carrying molecules power carbon fixation and sugar production.
What are ATP and NADPH?
This is how much energy moves up each trophic level.
What is 10%?
Producers supply energy-rich molecules to these organisms in a food chain.
Who are consumers?
These two energy-rich molecules power the Calvin Cycle after being produced in the light reactions.
What are ATP and NADPH?
Water and light are inputs of this stage, while oxygen, ATP, and NADPH are outputs.
What are the inputs and outputs of the light reactions?
This enzyme fixes carbon dioxide to RuBP, beginning the Calvin Cycle.
What is RuBisCo?
These are the two processes of photosynthesis.
What are the light reactions and the Calvin Cycle?
This molecule stores long-term chemical energy, while this molecule provides quick, usable energy for cells.
What is glucose and ATP?
This molecule stores the chemical energy produced by photosynthesis and is built from carbon dioxide.
What is glucose?
This molecule is formed when energized electrons travel down the electron transport chain and reduce NADP⁺.
What is NADPH?
These are the key molecules involved in photosynthesis: CO₂, H₂O, O₂, ATP, NADPH, and this sugar.
What is glucose?
This sequence includes glycolysis, the Krebs cycle, and the electron transport chain.
What is cellular respiration?
This process releases energy by breaking down glucose to make ATP.
What is cellular respiration?
These are the complete sets of inputs and outputs for both the light reactions and the Calvin Cycle.
What are the inputs and outputs of the two stages of photosynthesis?
In this process, energy flows from sunlight to electrons to NADPH/ATP, while matter flows from water to oxygen.
What is the flow of energy and matter in the light reactions?
These are the stages of the calvin cycle.
What are Carbon fixation, reduction, and regeneration?
This stage of cellular respiration uses high-energy electrons carried by NADH and FADH₂ to power a series of proteins that create a proton gradient, ultimately producing large amounts of ATP.
What is the electron transport chain?
