Photosynthesis
Biology Ch 8
| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| ATP | A chemical compound that stores and releases energy. Adenine Triphosphate. |
| Heteroph | An organism that consumes another living things. |
| Autotroph | A organism that makes their own food. |
| Photosynthesis | Makes food molecules by using sunlight. |
| Pigment | Light absorbing molecules |
| Chlorophyll | Plant main pigment; Makes plants green |
| Thylakoid | Where chloroplast is found; Sac like membrane; look like mentos |
| Stroma | Fluid portion of chloroplast; outside thylakoid |
| NADP+ | A carrier of electron |
| Carrier of electron | Carries high energy electrons; because they are highly reactive |
| Light Dependent Reaction | Part of photosynthesis need ATP |
| Light Independent Reaction | Uses ATP, NAPH to produce sugar from CO2 |
| Photosystem | Essential to light dependent reactions What absorb sunlight and generate high energy electrons. |
| Electron transport chain | A series of electron protein that shuttle high energy electrons during ATP generate reaction. |
| ATP Synthase | Spand thylakoid and allows h ions to pass through membrane. |
| Calvin Cycle | Another name for light independent reactions;where plants use the energy that ATP And NADPH contain to build high energy carbohydrates that can be stored for a long time. |
