Question
Answer
chemical reaction   Process by which one set of chemicals is changed into another set of chemicals through the breaking and forming of chemical bonds.  
🗑
reactant   Element or compound that enters into a chemical reaction.  
🗑
product   Element or compound produced by a chemical reaction.  
🗑
bond energy   The amount of energy that will break a bond between two atoms.  
🗑
equilibrium   when a reaction takes place at an equal rate in both directions.  
🗑
activation energy   The amount of energy that needs to be absorbed for a chemical reaction to start.  
🗑
exothermic reaction   Chemical reaction that releases more energy that they absorb.  
🗑
endothermic reaction   Chemical reaction that absorb more energy than they release  
🗑
catalyst   A substance that initiates or speeds up the rate of a chemical reaction without being changed by the process.  
🗑
ATP   (Adenosine Triphosphate) "carries" the energy of the cell  
🗑
ADP   (Adenosine Diphosphate) forms when the energy carried by ATP is released and a phosphate group is removed.  
🗑
chemosynthesis   The process by which some organisms use chemical energy to make energy-storing carbon-based molecules.  
🗑
photosynthesis   Process by which photoautotrophs capture the energy of the sunlight and use it to synthesize carbohydrates through a series of chemical reactions to store chemical energy.  
🗑
chloroplast   double membrane bound organelle, inter membrane space between the inner and outer membrane, where photosynthesis occurs.  
🗑
chlorophyll   This molecule absorbs some of the energy in visible light for photosynthesis.  
🗑
thylakoid   saclike structures in chloroplasts made up of photosynthetic membranes.  
🗑
grana   A stack of thylakoids.  
🗑
stroma   The liquid surrounding the thylakoids/grana.  
🗑
light dependent reaction   The "photo" part of photosynthesis, occurs in the thylakoid membranes, requires light energy, oxygen is given off as a waste product.  
🗑
light independent reaction   energy from the light dependent reactions is used to build sugar molecules from carbon dioxide.  
🗑
photosystem   organization of chlorophyll and proteins in the thylakoid membranes.  
🗑
electron transport chain   A series of proteins in the thylakoid membrane.  
🗑
ATP sythase   Produces ATP molecules that are transported to the light independent reactions.  
🗑
Calvin Cycle   Several chemical reactions that are necessary to produce a high energy sugar from low energy carbon dioxide.  
🗑


   

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.
