Question
Answer
Where does the energy come from?   Almost all of the energy comes from the sun.  
🗑
Autotroph   An organism that produces its own nutrients from inorganic substances or from the environment (ex. sunlight) instead of consuming other organisms.  
🗑
Photosynthesis   The process by which plants, algae, and some other bacteria use sunlight, carbon dioxide, and water to produce carbohydrates and oxygen.  
🗑
Heterotroph   an organism that obtains organic food molecules by eating other organisms or their byproducts and that cannot synthesize organic compounds from inorganic materials  
🗑
Biochemical Pathway   a series of chemical reactions that convert one biological material into another (the product of one reaction is consumed in the next reaction)  
🗑
Cellular respiration   Oxygen and some of the organic compounds produced by photosynthesis are used by cells in a process calles cellular respiration.  
🗑
Photosynthesis can be devided into how many stages? Name them.   2 stages: Light reactions & Calvin Cycle  
🗑
Light Reactions   Light energy (absorbed from the sun) is converted to chemical energy, which is temporarily stored in ATP and the energy carrier molecule NADPH  
🗑
Calvin Cycle   Organic compounds are formed using CO2 and the chemiacl energy stored in ATP and NADPH  
🗑
Give the equation that summarizes the process of photosynthesis.   6CO2+6H2O(light energy)=C6H12O6+6O2  
🗑
The light reactions begin with the absorbtion of light in   chloroplasts  
🗑
Chloroplast has .... membranes?   2  
🗑
thylakoids   a membrane system found within chloroplasts that contains the components for photosynthesis  
🗑
grana   stacks of thylakoids in a chloroplast  
🗑
visible spectrum   the portion of the electromagnetic spectrum that includes all of the wavelengths that are visible to the human eye  
🗑
pigment   compound that absorbs light  
🗑
chlorophyll   a green pigment that is present in most plant cells, that gives plants their characteristic green color, and that reacts with sunlight, carbon dioxide, and water to form carbohydrates  
🗑
The 2 most common types of chlorophyll are   chlorophyll a and chlorophyll b  
🗑
Chlorophyl a absorbs less .... light and more .... light than chlorophyl b.   less blue light and more red light  
🗑
whch of the chlorophylls are directly involved in light reactions of photosynthesis?   Chlorophyll a  
🗑
Carotenoid   a class of pigments that are present mostly in plants and that aid in photosynthesis  
🗑
stroma   in plants, the solution that surrounds the thylakoids in a chloroplast  
🗑


   

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.
