Chapter 8 Biology
| Term | Definition |
|---|---|
| Calvin Cycle | Where light independent reactions happen In stroma |
| PSll | Where water molecules are split |
| PSl | Absorbs sunlight Energy is given to electrons |
| ETC Electron Transport Chain | Stage in photosynthesis where electrons are transferred from PSll to PSl |
| ATP Synthase | Transport Protein ATP is made when hydrogen passes through here |
| Ferrodoxin | Transport Protein Electrons travel to and go out to stroma |
| Chemiosmosis | Process where ATP is made from hydrogen ions through ATP synthase |
| Glucose | Type of sugar Product of photosynthesis C6H12O6 |
| Chloroplast | Responsible for photosynthesis Takes energy from sun and converts it into food |
| Thylakoid | Where light dependent reactions happen |
| Stroma | Liquid around thylakoids Light independent reactions happen here |
| Chlorophyll | Main light absorbing pigments in plants |
| Carotenoids | Accessory pigments |
| ADP | Whats left after releases energy |
| Anabolic | Puts smaller particles together to make bigger ones ex: Photosynthesis |
| Catabolic | Breaks large particles down into smaller ones ex: Cell Respiration |
