Location of the light-dependent reactions:
What is the thylakoid membrane

This alternate mechanism of photosynthesis allows plants in very arid locations to avoid dehydration:
What is crassulacean acid metabolism (CAM)
200
Because photosynthesis builds larger molecules from smaller ones, we would say it is a/an ____________ reaction:
What is an ANABOLIC reaction
200
This happens to green wavelengths of light at the plant surface:
What is: They are REFLECTED
200
These organisms cannot make their own food:
What are: heterotrophs

The first molecule to be handed the electrons from newly oxidized chlorophyll:
What is the primary electron acceptor
300
This molecule donates electrons back to the newly oxidized P680:
What is water
300
This organism is responsible for the majority of oxygen in earth's environment:
What is ALGAE
300
This is the molecule reduced following stimulation of the P700 photosystem:
What is NADPH
300
This theory explains how some cells house organelles that seem to have at one time been their own cell:
What is the THEORY OF ENDOSYMBIOSIS
400
This is the type of pigment that passes photons to the reaction centers of P680 & P700:
What are antennae pigments
400
This reactant is used during the Calvin Cycle to generate sugars:
What is CO2
400
This is the source of replacement electrons when P700 becomes oxidized:
What is the electron transport chain (P680)
400
The byproduct of photosynthesis, along with its source:
What is: Oxygen, & Water
400
Because photosynthesis puts energy into the sugars it builds, we would refer to photosynthesis as a/an _________ reaction:
What is an ENDERGONIC reaction
500
This is the equation for photosynthesis:
6CO2 + 6H2O + Light >>>>> C6H12O6 + 6O2
500
Because photosynthesis, like Cell Respiration, involves the transfer again and again of high energy electrons, both reactions are referred to as this kind of reaction:
