| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| autotroph | makes its own food |
| photoautotroph | autotroph that uses light energy |
| heterotroph | must ingest/obtain chem energy & organic molecules from other sources |
| oxygen | produced by autotrophs used by heterotrophs |
| photoautotroph | uses light energy to make its own food & contains photosynthetic pigments |
| photoheterotroph | needs light energy & needs organic compounds to make new structures & biomolecules. cannot fix carbon |
| chemoheterotroph | doesn't use light energy & cannot fix carbon. obtain energy via oxidation of e- donors in the environment. (in/)organic e- sources are used to create new molecules. |
| chemoautotroph | get energy from chem rxns. fixes carbon. inorganic sources of energy (h2s, nh3, fe2+). |
| photosynthesis needs | h2o & co2 |
| photosynthesis produces | c6h12o6 & o2 |
| light reaction | involves light energy. thylakoid. splits water. generates ATP & NADPH |
| dark reaction | does not involve light energy. stroma. generates c6h12o2. |
| co2 is ________ into c6h12o6 and is a(n) _________ agent | reduced, oxidizing |
| h2o is ________ into o2 and is a(n) _________ agent | oxidized, reducing |
| photosynthesis is an ________ redox process | endergonic |
| NADH and FADH2 are _______ that _______ when reduced and ______ when oxidized | coenzymes, carry e- in high energy states, lose H+ & e- to become NAD+ & FAD |
| NAD+ is used in ________ and NADP+ is used in ________ | cellular respiration, photosynthesis |
| electromagnetic radiation | light travelling in waves, each one with distinct wavelength |
| light entering chloroplasts may be ___________ (3) | absorbed, transmitted, or reflected |
| photosynthetic pigments absorb mainly ________ light | visible |
| chlorophyll a & b absorb mainly ____________ light, making plants appear __________ in color | red, blue, & violet. green |
| carotenoids absorb _________ light and reflect __________ light and the excess that may damage the _______ | green, blue, & violent. red, orange, & yellow. chlorophyll. |
| chlorophyll e- _________ as they absorb light and release _________ when they relax. | excite & jump to higher energy levels. heat and light energy |
| PSII is the __________ reaction center, PSI is the ____________ reaction center. | P680, P700 |
| chemiosmosis | energy coupling of concentration gradients & bio processes |
