| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| Photosynthesis | The process by which energy transfer takes place in Plants |
| Pigment | A compound that will absorb or reflect certain light |
| ATP | the energy compound needed by all cells |
| Stomata | small pores in the leaf |
| Granum | the layers found in the Thylakoid. |
| the calvin cycle | the second step in Photosynthesis. |
| Electron Transport System | series of molecules in the thylakoid membrane that transport electrons. |
| C3 Plants | plants that fix carbon exclusively through the calvin cycle that produce a three carbon compound. |
| C4 Plants | plants that fix carbon and produce a four carbon compound. |
| CAM Plants | plants that open their stomata during the night and close them during the day |
| Autotrophs | organisms that are photosynthetic are considered these |
| Chloroplasts | these are the structures where the photosynthesis takes place. |
| Carotenoids | these are the pigments that appear red or orange. |
| Chlorophyll | this is the pigment that is the most important in Photosynthesis |
| Thlakoid | this is the structure inside the chloroplast where photosynthesis occurs. |
| what is the other name for the calvin cycle | the light reaction |
| PGA | three-carbon molecule used in the first step of the clavin Cycle. |
| Carbon Fixation | when CO2 is incorporated into orangic material |
| where does the calvin cycle occur | the stroma |
| what is the 5 carbon molecule that combines with the the CO2 in the first step of the calvin cycle | RuBP |
| color not used in most plants | Green |
| what does ATP become after losing a P? | ADP |
| Photo-System 2 | takes the electron and turns into electrical energy |
| if the temperature increases to much photosynthesis will do what? | decrease |
| Photo-system 1 | changes electrical energy into chemical energy |
| what is the chemical formula for photosynthesis | 6CO2+6H20=C6H12O6=6O2 |
| ADP | adenosine diphosphate (has two phosphates) |
| Chemosynthesis | Chemosynthesis is the diffusion of ions across a selectively-permeable membrane |
| RuBP | molecule that carbon dioxide reacts with in |
