photosynthesis

photosynthesis notes

QuestionAnswer
What biological process converts carbon dioxide and water into glucose and oxygen using sunlight? Photosynthesis
In which plant cell organelle do both stages of photosynthesis occur? Chloroplast
Where in the chloroplast do the light-dependent reactions take place? Thylakoid membrane
Where in the chloroplast does the light-independent Calvin cycle take place? Stroma
What enzyme, considered the most abundant protein on Earth, catalyzes carbon fixation by binding CO2 to RuBP? RuBisCO
What electron carrier molecule is reduced from NADP+ during the light-dependent reactions? NADPH
What copper-containing protein receives electrons from the cytochrome b6f complex in the light reactions? Plastocyanin
What 3-carbon sugar produced in the Calvin cycle leaves the stroma to form glucose? G3P (Glyceraldehyde 3-phosphate)
What specialized leaf anatomy, featuring bundle-sheath cells surrounding vascular bundles, is used by C4 plants? Kranz anatomy
Which enzyme in C4 and CAM plants fixes carbon dioxide into oxaloacetate without binding to oxygen? PEP carboxylase
What carbon fixation pathway used by desert plants opens stomata at night to store CO2 as malic acid? CAM (Crassulacean Acid Metabolism)
What wasteful process occurs when RuBisCO binds to oxygen instead of carbon dioxide, forming phosphoglycolate? Photorespiration
What diagram illustrates the energy levels of electrons transferred through Photosystems II and I? Z-scheme
What term describes sea slugs that retain functioning chloroplasts from ingested algae to perform photosynthesis? Kleptoplasty
Which 18th-century Dutch scientist is credited with discovering photosynthesis? Jan Ingenhousz
What structural ring surrounds the central magnesium ion in a chlorophyll molecule? Porphyrin ring
What metal ion sits at the center of chlorophyll's porphyrin ring? Magnesium
What high-energy molecule synthesized by ATP synthase during the light reactions fuels the Calvin cycle? ATP

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.
