QuestionAnswer
Adenosine Triphosphate (ATP) Made up of adenine, ribose, and 3 phosphate groups. Energy storing molecule.
Heterotroph A consumer. Needs to eat to get energy.
Autotrophs Produce energy through many anabolic pathways.
Photosynthesis Anabolic pathway used by plants that involves using sunlight to make energy.
Thylakoids A baglike photosynthetic membrane found in chloroplasts. Arranged in stacks called grana.
Stroma The liquid-filled space surrounding the thylakoids in chloroplasts.
NADP+ One of the molecules that accepts high-energy electrons from chlorophyll and carries them to other molecules during photosynthesis.
Light-Dependent Reaction A reaction of photosynthesis that uses light energy to make ATP and NADPH.
Light-Independent Reaction A reaction of photosynthesis that uses ATP, NADPH, and carbon dioxide to make high-energy molecules
Photosystems Light-collecting units of the chloroplasts.
Electron Transport Chain A series of proteins in which high-energy electrons are used to change ADP to ATP.
C4 plants Pathways use extra ATP to work, but can still carry out photosynthesis even when it's hot. Example: Corn
C3 plants Cannot carry out photosynthesis in hot weather. Example: Rice
CAM plants Save water by taking in carbon dioxide at night. Turn CO2 into acids during night; during day acids turned back into CO2. Example: Pineapple trees
Ferrodoxin Iron-Sulfur protein that mediate transfer of electrons in metabolic pathways,
Calvin Cycle Light-independent reaction used for carbon fixation.
Carotenoid A light-collecting pigment.
G3P A 3-carbon intermediate molecule used to transfer energy in the Calvin Cycle.
Chlorophyll A light-collecting pigment.
RuBP Energy transferring molecule used in Calvin Cycle.
Chemiosmosis Anabolic pathway using chemical energy, instead of light, to produce sugars.
Chlorplasts Organelle where photosynthesis occurs.

Use these flashcards to help memorize information. Look at the large card and try to recall what is on the other side. Then click the card to flip it. If you knew the answer, click the green Know box. Otherwise, click the red Don't know box.

When you've placed seven or more cards in the Don't know box, click "retry" to try those cards again.

If you've accidentally put the card in the wrong box, just click on the card to take it out of the box.

You can also use your keyboard to move the cards as follows:

If you are logged in to your account, this website will remember which cards you know and don't know so that they are in the same box the next time you log in.

When you need a break, try one of the other activities listed below the flashcards like Matching, Snowman, or Hungry Bug. Although it may feel like you're playing a game, your brain is still making more connections with the information to help you out.

To see how well you know the information, try the Quiz or Test activity.
