Biology notes for chapter 8
| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| What is the high-energy molecule that stores the energy we need to do just about everything we do? | Adenosine Triphosphate(ATP) |
| What is an organism that eats other organisms? | Heterotroph |
| What is an organism that makes its own food? | Autotroph |
| What is the process in plants that allows them to produce carbohydrates out of sunlight? | Photosynthesis |
| What is a substance whose presence in the tissues or cells of animals or plants, colors them? | Pigment |
| What is a green substance in plants that is essential to the process of photosynthesis? | Chlorophyll |
| What is a flattened sac or vesicle that is the site of photosynthesis? | Thylakoid |
| What is the gel-like matrix of chloroplasts and certain cells? | Stroma |
| What is the oxidized form of nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate which is used as an electron carrier? | NADP+ |
| What is a reaction that needs light to be able to function? | Light-Dependent Reactions |
| What is a reaction that doesn't need light to be able to function? | Light-Indepenednt Reactions |
| What is either of two pigment-containing systems, photosystem I or II, in which the light-dependent chemical reactions of photosynthesis occur in the chloroplasts of plants? | Photosystem |
| What is a series of electron carrier proteins that shuttle high-energy electrons during ATP-generating reactions? | Electron Transport Chain |
| This is a protein that spans the membrane and allows H+ ions to pass through it. | ATP Synthase |
| What is also known as the light-independent reactions? | Calvin Cycle |
