Question
Answer
What happens to light when it hits the pigment chlorophyll in the chloroplast of the plant cell?   green in the light spectrum is reflected and other parts of the light spectrum are absorbed. We see leaves as green because of the chlorophyll that is absorbing all light except the green which our eyes collect.  
🗑
What are photosystems?   Photosystems are collections of pigments, with the main pigment being chlorophyll.  
🗑
In what organisms does photosynthesis occur?   Photosynthesis occurs in autotrophs.  
🗑
What is the major light absorbing pigment in plants?   chlorophyll  
🗑
What is the equation for photosynthesis?   You will have to know this ... be ready  
🗑
The light dependent reactions use light to make what two products?   ATP and NADPH  
🗑
Where do the light dependent reactions of photosynthesis take place?   The thylokoid membranes  
🗑
The cells require energy for   growth and reproduction, movement, transport of certain materials across cell membranes  
🗑
Photosynthesis is   the process whereby plants capture energy and make complex molecules  
🗑
Suspended in the fluid stroma of chloroplasts are   stacks of thylakoids called grana  
🗑
Chlorophyll is green because   photons of green wavelengths are reflected. Other colors are absorbed.  
🗑
What happens when a chlorophyll molecule absorbs a photon of light?   some of its electrons are raised to a higher energy level.  
🗑
What happens when electrons of the chlorophyll are raised to a higher energy level?   they enter an electron transport chain  
🗑
How are the electrons of photosystem I replaced?   they are eventually replaced by electrons from photosystem II.  
🗑
The source of oxygen produced during photosynthesis is   the water molecule which is split in the process of photolysis  
🗑
Describe the dark reactions/Calvin Cycle   requires ATP and NADPH, can occur in both light and dark conditions, generates glucose  
🗑
In what series of reactions is the complex carbohydrate (sugar) produced   The Calvin Cycle  
🗑
All organic molecules contain carbon atoms that ultimately can be traced back to   carbon dioxide from the atmosphere  
🗑
What is the main purpose of the Calvin Cycle?   To produce sugar  
🗑
What is the sugar that is a part of AMP, ADP, and ATP?   Ribose  
🗑
How is energy released from ATP?   Energy is released when the bond is broken between the 2nd and 3rd phosphate group  
🗑
Cells store energy when   a third phosphate group is bonded to an ATP molecule.  
🗑
The ADP molecule contains   adenine, ribose, two phosphate groups  
🗑
Where does the Calvin Cycle take place?   the stroma  
🗑
The energy currency molecule in the cell is   ATP  
🗑
Be sure you can sequence the events in the light dependent reactions. See your study guide for help    
🗑

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.
