Photosynthesis

9.1

100

the ability to do work is the definition of this important thing

energy

200

list the three parts of atp

adenine, ribose (5-carbon sugar), and 3 phosphate groups

300

this type of organism obtains food by eating other living things

heterotroph

400

this action, which converts ADP to ATP, stores a bit of energy away for a later use

a third phosphate group is added

500

list the three ways cells use energy provided by ATP

- active transport

- synthesize proteins/signal response

- movement

9.2

100

the fluid portion of the chloroplast, called this, surrounds stacks of thylakoids

stroma

200

this special molecule can carry - and then release - high-energy electrons and a hydrogen ion in photosynthesis

NADP+

300

thylakoids are stacked and interconnected in piles, called these

grana (granum sing.)

400

this other plant pigment can really only be seen in the fall, when temperatures drop and chlorophyll breaks down

carotene

500

this is the job of the light and the chlorophyll pigments in photosynthesis

absorb light to energize electrons and provide energy to make sugars

9.3

100

when our electron carrier molecule accepts two electrons and a hydron ion, it becomes this form

NADPH

200

this piece of photosynthesis was discovered second, and is part of our light-dependent reactions

photosystem II

300

this is main output of photosynthesis, which is created in the light-independent reactions with the help of carbon dioxide

sugar (glucose)

400

water molecules are split apart during the light-dependent reactions to produce these two things

hydrogen ions

electrons

500

carbon enters the calvin cycle as carbon dioxide, and leaves the cycle in this form, before being made into sugars or other compounds

3-carbon compounds

Vocab

100

the energy currency of all living things

ATP

200

organisms that obtain food by creating it

autotroph

300

an electron carrier molecule that changes forms between light dependent and light independent reactions

NADP+

400

the membranes in chloroplasts that contains chlorophyll

thylakoid

500

clusters of chlorophyll in proteins

photosystem

Miscellaneous

100

this is the alternative name of the light-independent reactions

Calvin cycle

200

chlorophyll reflect these colored wavelengths of light

green

300

write the balanced equation of photsynthesis

6CO2 + 6H2O --(light)--> C6H12O6 + 6O2

400

list the three factors that affect the rate of photosynthesis

water availability, light intensity, temperature

500

these series of proteins in the thylakoids pass the energized electrons, which helps to either bring hydrogen ions in, or create ATP and NADPH

electron transport chain (ETC)
