Where is the chloroplast does the light-dependent reaction part of photosynthesis take place? thlakoid membrane
Where is the chloroplast does the light-independent reaction part of photosynthesis take place? stroma
Primary pigment of photosynthesis chlorophyll
accessory pigments of photosynthesis carotenoid (orange) & xanthophyll (yellow)
This enzyme carries electrons from the light-dependent reactions to the light-independent reactions. NADPH
Two components of the light dependent reactions. Photosystem I & photosystem II
Where do the electrons come from in light dependent reactions? Water that is stripped.
This alternate cycle works for cactus, pineapple and orchids. CAM
A process in which the enzyme rubsico undercuts carbon fixation in photosynthesis by binding with oxygen instead of carbon dioxide. photorespiration
Plants keep their stomata closed during the day and open at night in what form of photrespiration. 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.
