Photosynthesis101

QuestionAnswer
Photosynthesis Equation 6CO2 + 12H2O + energy (light) → C6H12O6 + 6O2 + 6H2O
Photosynthesis The process by which green plants and some other organisms use sunlight to synthesize foods from carbon dioxide and water. Photosynthesis in plants generally involves the green pigment chlorophyll and generates oxygen as a byproduct
Light-dependent Reactions occur within the thylakoid membrane of chloroplasts
Calvin Cycle use the energy in ATP and NADPH to synthesize glucose
Photo-respiration sometimes reduces the efficiency of photosynthesis
Cellular Respiration a chemical pathway in which organic molecules are broken down to release energy in a quickly usable form (ATP).
Aerobic Respiration uses molecular oxygen (O2) as the final electron acceptor in the reaction pathway.
Aerobic Respiration Equation C6H12O6 + 6O2 + 6H2O → 6CO2 + 12H2O + energy (ATP)
Anaerobic Respiration do not use oxygen as they perform respiration
chloroplasts where photosynthesis occurs
light-independent reaction a reaction of photosynthesis that uses light energy to make ATP and NADPH
Thylakoid a bag-like photosynthetic membrane found in chloroplast
stroma the liquid filled space surrounding the thylakoids in chloroplasts
NADPH one of the molecules that accepts high-energy electrons from chlorophyll and carries them to other molecules during photosynthesis
chlorophyll absorbs energy from a light source, such as sunlight
light reaction happens in the thylakoid membrane and converts light energy to chemical energy.
Glycolysis "splitting sugars.
fermentation allows cells to make small amounts of ATP
ATP transfers energy from chemical bonds to absorbing reactions within the cell.
prokaryotic cell a cell that do not have a true nucleus.
eukaryotic cell a cell that do have a true nucleus
T or F. Eukayrotic cells do not contain a mitochondria. false
T or F. Glycolysis is the first step in cellular respiration. true

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.

To see how well you know the information, try the Quiz or Test activity.
