Question
Answer
autotroph   an organism that produces its own nutrients from inorganic substance or from the environment instead of consuming other organisms  
🗑
Photosynthesis   process used by autotrophs to convert light energy from the sun into chemical energy in the form of organic compounds , primarily carbohydrates  
🗑
heterotrophs   animals and other organisms that must get energy from food instead of directly from sunlight or inorganic substances  
🗑
photosynthesis equation   6CO2 + 6H2O --> C6H12O6 + 6O2  
🗑
chloroplasts   organelles found in the cells of plants, algae and some protists  
🗑
thylakoids   a membrane system found within chloroplasts that contains the components for the Light Dependent Reaction of photosynthesis  
🗑
stroma   solution found in the chloroplast, where Light Independent/Calvin Cycle occurs  
🗑
pigments   compounds that absorb light and give color to substances or mixtures  
🗑
chlorophylls   most important pigments in photosynthesis  
🗑
electron transport chain   a series of molecules, found in the inner membranes of mitochondria and chloroplasts, through which electrons pass in a process that causes protons to build up on one side of the membrane  
🗑
Calvin Cycle   series of enzyme-assisted chemical reactions that produces a 3-carbon sugar(glucose), process by which organic compounds are formed using CO2 and the chemical energy stored in ATP and NADPH,also called the Light Independent Reaction,  
🗑
carbon fixation   the incorporation of CO2 into organic compounds takes place in the Calvin cycle/light independent  
🗑
factors that affect photosynthesis   light intensity, CO2 levels, temperature(enzymes denature)  
🗑
chemosynthesis   uses energy released from chemical reactions instead of light energy to produce food for organisms  
🗑
reactants in photosynthesis are   CO2, H2O, O2  
🗑
products of photosynthesis are   Glucose, oxygen  
🗑
During the light independent reaction, the sun hits the chlorophyll causing H20 to splits into ___________ and _____________.   oxygen and hydrogen O2 is released and H is used to make NADPH  
🗑
NADPH   is an electron carrier and is used in the light independent reaction  
🗑
Light Independent Reaction/Calvin Cycle converts   CO2 and ATP into glucose(sugar)  
🗑
   
🗑


   

Review the information in the table. When you are ready to quiz yourself you can hide individual columns or the entire table. Then you can click on the empty cells to reveal the answer. Try to recall what will be displayed before clicking the empty cell.
 
To hide a column, click on the column name.
 
To hide the entire table, click on the "Hide All" button.
 
You may also shuffle the rows of the table by clicking on the "Shuffle" button.
 
Or sort by any of the columns using the down arrow next to any column heading.
If you know all the data on any row, you can temporarily remove it by tapping the trash can to the right of the row.
