| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| Molecules that collect light energy are called | Pigments |
| Chlorophyll a and b abord what wavelengths of light best | blue-violet and red |
| What is the main light absorbing pigment found in green plants | Chlorophyll |
| Plants look green because chlorophyll ... green light | Reflects |
| Organisms like green plants can make their own food using energy from the sun are called... | Autotrophs |
| What is the gel-filled space inside the chloroplast surrounding the thylakoid stack? | Stroma |
| During the light dependent reactions, H+ ions build up in the ... space when ... molecules are split | Thylakoid and water |
| the enzymes for the light dependent reactions are found in the ... while the calvin cycle happens in the .... | Thylakoid Membrane and Stroma |
| the light independent reactions are also called the ... | Calvin Cycle |
| Carbon and oxygen from ... end up as part of a ... molecule following the calvin cycle | carbon dioxide and glucose |
| The O in H2O is given off as ... gas to the atmosphere when water is split during the light dependent reactions | oxygen |
| proteins in living things that help chemical reactions happen are called... | Enzymes |
| What does ATP stand for | Adenosine Triphosphate |
| How is ATP from ADP | a phosphate |
| What 2 things are required for photosynthesis to happen | Sunlight and temperature |
| Which molecule acts as a carrier for high energy electrons during photosynthesis? | NADP+ |
| What is found inside the Thylakoid Membrane? | Electron transport chain, photosystem 1, photosystem 2, ATP synthase |
| Which step is the beginning of photosynthesis? | Pigments in photosystem 2 absorb light |
| Why does the space inside the thylakoid become positively charged during the light dependent reactions? | H+ ions build up in the space as water is split |
| What is the calvin cycle another name for? | light independent reactions |
| where are photosystems 1 and 2 found | in the thylakoid membrane |
| Process that releases energy by breaking down glucose and other food molecule in the presence of oxygen is called | cellular respiration |
| During glycolysis one molecule of ... is broken in half | glucose |
| during glycolysis NAD+ is converted to what? | NADH |
| Glycolysis produces a net gain of how many ATP molecules for each reaction? | 2 |
| The product of alcoholic fermentation are... | alcohol, CO2 and water |
| Is fermentation anaerobic or aerobic | anaerobic, doesnt need oxygen |
| how does fermentation allow the production of ATP to continue? | converts NADH to NAD+ |
| Disk-shaped structures with photosynthetic pigments are known as | Thylakoids |
| Stroma are gel-like matrix (a solution) that surrounds the | inside the chloroplast |
| What substances do Autotrophs or producers use to make food? | water, carbon dioxide, light |
| Photosynthesis occurs in what organelle of plants and algae? | Chlorophyll |
| The Thylakoids are surrounded by a gel-like matrix (solution) called | Stroma |
| An object that absorbs all colors appears | black |
| Carbon fixing reactions occur in a pathway called the | calvin cycle |
| Folded Thylakoids that resemble stacks of pancakes are called | granum |
| The Enzyme that adds a phosphate group to ADP to form AT | ATP Synthase |
| The oxygen atoms in the oxygen gas produced in photosynthesis come from | water |
| At the end of photosystem I transport chain, electrons combine with NADP+ to form what? | NADPH |
| What plant structures control the passage of water out of a plant and carbon dioxide into a plant? | Stomata |
| What roles do water molecules play in photosynthesis? | Water molecules provide the split to make H+ to allow ATP to made. |
