Photosynthesis

Photosynthesis - CSCC

QuestionAnswer
What useful product is formed after six turns of the Calvin Cycle? Glucose
Photosynthesis occurs in all cells of a plant. A) True B) False False
Chlorophyll pigments are grouped together in the membranes of _____________. thylakoids
A green leaf reflects ___________ of the visible spectrum. green wavelengths
Molecules that absorb light energy are called ____________. pigments
Plants need light to use ATP to synthesize plant molecules from carbon dioxide in the air.A) True B) False False
Each photosystem consists of many chlorophyll molecules and several reaction centers.A) True B) False False
The starting point of photosynthesis is the photosystem
Electrons in pigment molecules become excited when exposed to photons of light
Photosystem I captures the energy that is used to produce the ATP needed to build sugar molecules. A) True B) False False
The photosystems are replenished with electrons obtained by the splitting of ___ molecules. water
About 25% of the radiant energy from the sun that reaches the earth each day is captured by photosynthesis.A) True B) False False
Plants use chlorophyll to absorb primarily the green band of the visible spectrum. A) True B) False False
The process of chemiosmosis is for making molecules of ATP
Photorespiration involves the competitive inhibition of the enzyme rubisco, effectively short circuiting the light dependent reactions of photosynthesis. A) True B) False False
A waste product of the light-dependent reactions is oxygen
Carbon fixation attaches a carbon atom that was in a gas into an organic molecule. A) True B) False True
C4 photosynthesis involves only light-independent reactions for plants in hot climates. A) True B) False False
Photosynthesis occurs in which of the following? A) bacteria B) algaeC) plantsD) all of the above D) all of the above
In a high school biology class, students observe that plants grown with a green filter in front of the light source grow better than plants with a red filter in front of the light source. Why is this? plants do not absorb the green wavelengths of light for photosynthesis
The energy that is used by almost all living things on our planet comes from the sun. It is captured by plants, algae, and some bacteria through the process of photosynthesis.
Plants capture sunlight with molecules called pigments that absorb photons and use their energy
Visible light occupies what part of the electromagnetic spectrum? a small portion in the middle of the spectrum
The colors of light that are most effective for photosynthesis are red, blue, and orange
Once a plant has initially captured the energy of a photon A)a series of reactions occurs in chloroplast membranes of the cell. B)the energy is transferred through several steps into a molecule of ATP. C)several pigments, including two kinds of chlorophyll, may be involved. D) all of the above are true
Plants use two photosystems to capture energy used to produce ATP and NADPH. The electrons used in these photosystems only go through the system once; they are obtained by splitting a water molecule.
During photosynthesis, ATP molecules are generated by chemiosmosis
NADPH is recycled during photosynthesis. It is produced during the ________ and used in the_________. electron transport system of photosystem II, Calvin cycle
The overall purpose of the Calvin cycle is to build sugar molecules.
Many plants cannot carry out the typical C3 photosynthesis in hot weather, so some plants use C4 photosynthesis or CAM

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.
