100
Organelles in plants that contain chlorophyll used in photosynthesis.
What are chloroplasts?
100
The destination of the ATP and NADPH that are formed during the light reactions.
What is the Calvin Cycle?
100
Another name for the Calvin Cycle.

What are amyloplasts?
200
Priestley's contribution to the study of photosynthesis.
What is the discovery of oxygen?
200
Where exactly are the protein complexes (photosystem 2 & 1) which accomplish the light reactions. (most specific)
What is the thylakoid membrane?
200
The protein that produces ATP by H+ ions diffusing through it.

What is oxygen?
300
The energy molecules that drive the Calvin Cycle.
What are ATP and NADPH?
300
The two active pigments that are responsible for capturing light in plants.
What are chlorophyll and carotenoids?
400
The substance plants are mostly made of, and where it comes from.
What is carbon dioxide/air.
400
They capture photons of light in photosystem 2 & 1.
What are chlorophyll molecules?
400
The source of the energy to move H+ ions across the thylakoid membrane FROM the stroma TO the thylakoid space.
What is the electron?
400
The molecules rubisco attaches to each other to start the Calvin Cycle.
What are CO2 and RuBP?
400
It is present in lower amounts in the mesophyll, helping C4 plants continue photosynthesis.
What is oxygen?

What is the electron?
500
The 5-carbon sugar that is the end of the Calvin Cycle that is necessary to begin the cycle again.
What is RuBP?
500
The chemical reaction involved in photosynthesis.
