Plant Organelles
This organelle contains the pigment that give plants their green color.
What is chloroplast?
This pigment absorbs energy from the sunlight during the light dependent reaction.
What is chlorophyll?
These products from the light dependent reaction are used to drive the light independent reaction.
What is ATP and NADPH?
These structures provide energy for the ETC.
What are electrons?
This type of photosynthesis is most abundant.
What is C3 photosynthesis?
Photosynthesis takes place on the surface of this structure.
What is the thylakoid?
What is the output of the light dependent reaction.
What is Oxygen, ATP and NADPH?
This enzyme catalyzes the first reaction of the light independent reactions.
What is Rubisco?
This enzyme creates ATP.
What is ATP Synthase?
These structures allow CO2 to enter?
What are stomata?
This particle hits a structure in the reaction center and excites an electron.
What is a photon?
This molecule is split during the light dependent reaction.
What is water?
This term represents the conversion of atmospheric CO2 into organic molecules.
What is carbon fixation?
These protons are moved from the stroma to the thylakoid space.
What is hydrogen?
This term is used to describe plants that make their own food.
What is an autotroph?
This bio synthetic phase does not require light and takes place in the stroma.
What is the Calvin Cycle?
These are the reactants in photosynthesis.
What is water, carbon dioxide and sunlight?
The possible fates of this molecule when it exits the Calvin Cycle are glucose, starches, cellulose & other carbohydrates formed.
Whay is G3P?
The purpose of the ETC is to produce this molecule.
What is ATP?
An example of this law is when ice turns to water.
What is the First Law of Thermodynamics?
This molecule is required for the generation of sugar.
What is G3P?
These two molecules provide energy for the light independent reactions.
What is ATP and NADPH?
RuBp is replaced by this molecule.
What is G3P?
The process of moving ions (protons) to the other side of a biological membrane, and as a result, an electrochemical gradient is generated.
What is chemiosmosis?
This law summarizes how energy is always lost as waste heat during the conversion of heat energy into mechanical work.
What is the second law of thermodynamics?
