Question
Answer
Autotrophs   Organisms that sustain themselves without eating or decomposing other organisms  
🗑
Heterotrophs   Organisms that sustain themselves by consuming other organisms  
🗑
Chlorophyll   Green pigment located in chloroplasts  
🗑
Mesophyll   Tissue in the interior of the leaf  
🗑
Stomata (Stoma)   Microscopic pores in the leaf  
🗑
Light Reactions   First step of photosynthesis, involves turning solar energy into chemical energy  
🗑
Calvin Cycle   Second stage of photosynshesis, involves carbon fixation and needs NADPH and ATP from light reactions  
🗑
NADP+ (Nicotinamide Adenine Dinucleotide Phosphate)   Temporarily stores energized electrons  
🗑
Photophosphorylation   Generation of ATP by powering the addition of a phosphate group to ADP  
🗑
Carbon Fixation   Incorporation of carbon into organic compounds  
🗑
Wavelength   Distance between crests of magnetic waves  
🗑
Electromagnetic Spectrum   The entire range of radiation  
🗑
Visible Light   Between about 380 and 750 nm in wavelength, detectable by the human eye  
🗑
Photons   Discrete particles of light  
🗑
Spectrophometer   Measures ability of a pigment to absorb various wavelengths of light  
🗑
Absorption Spectrum   Graph plotting light absorption versus wavelength  
🗑
Chlorophyll A   Main type of chlorophytll in the chloroplast, provides clues for reletive effectiveness for different wavelengths of light for driving photosynthesis  
🗑
Action Spectrum   Profiles the reletive performance of the different wavelengths more accurately than an absorption spectrum  
🗑
Chlorophyll B   Accessory pigment similar to chlorophyll a, has slightly different absorption spetrum and color  
🗑
Carotenoids   Hydrocarbons that are various shades of yellow and orange  
🗑
Photosystems   Organization of chlorophylls and proteins with other small organic molecules  
🗑
Reaction Center   Where the first light driven reaction of photosynthesis occurs  
🗑
Primary Electron Receptor   Prevents electrons from dropping back into the ground state  
🗑
Photosystem I (P700)   Best absorbs light at 700 nm (red area of spectrum)  
🗑
Photosystem II (P680)   Absorption spectrum peaks at 680 nm (red area of spectrum)  
🗑
Noncyclic Electron Flow   Predominant route for electron flow  
🗑
Noncyclic Phototphosphoration   ATP synthesis during noncyclic electron flow  
🗑
Cyclic Electron Flow   Alternitave path for electron flow  
🗑
Cyclic Photophosphoration   No generation of ATP  
🗑
Gylceralhyde 3-Phosphate (G3P)   The 3-carbon sugar/carbohydrate produced by produced by the Calvin Cycle  
🗑
Rubisco   The most abundant protein in chloroplasts  
🗑
C3 Plants   Plants where the first product of carbon fixation is a three-carbon compound  
🗑
Photorespiration   Consumption of O2 in the light  
🗑
C4 Plants   Plants that preface the Calvin Cycle with an alternitive mode of carbon fixation that forms a four carbon compound  
🗑
Bundle-Sheath Cells   Tightly packed cells around the veins of a leaf  
🗑
Mesophyll cells   Between bundle-sheath cells and the leaf's surface  
🗑
PEP carboxylase   An enzyme that adds CO2 to PEP  
🗑
Crassulacean Acid Metabolism (CAM)   Mode of carbon fixation where organic acids are stored in mesophyll until morning  
🗑
CAM plants   Plants that have CAM  
🗑


   

Review the information in the table. When you are ready to quiz yourself you can hide individual columns or the entire table. Then you can click on the empty cells to reveal the answer. Try to recall what will be displayed before clicking the empty cell.
 
To hide a column, click on the column name.
 
To hide the entire table, click on the "Hide All" button.
 
You may also shuffle the rows of the table by clicking on the "Shuffle" button.
 
Or sort by any of the columns using the down arrow next to any column heading.
If you know all the data on any row, you can temporarily remove it by tapping the trash can to the right of the row.
