🗑
show process of generating ATP from ADP and phosphate by means of a proton-motive force generated across the thylakoid membrane during light reactions  
🗑
show initial incorporation of carbon from CO2 into an organic compound by an autotrophic organism  
🗑
Calvin cycle; light reactions   show
🗑
show site of light reactions  
🗑

🗑
photons   show
🗑
show substances that absorb visible light  
🗑
spectrophotometer   show
🗑

🗑
show photosynthetic pigment that participates directly in light reactions, which converts solar energy to chemical energy; blue green with functional group CH3  
🗑
chlorophyll b   show
🗑
show profiles relative effectiveness of different wavelengths of radiation in driving photosynthesis; illuminates chloroplasts with light of different colors and plots wavelength against photosynthetic rate  
🗑
violet-blue and red light (note: green least effective)   show
🗑
Engelmann   show
🗑
carotenoids   show
🗑
photoprotection   show
🗑
phytochemicals   show
🗑
show absorption of a photon _____ an electron from the _____ state to the ______ state  
🗑
show as excited electron fall back to the ground state, photons are given off, making an afterglow  
🗑
show light-capturing unit located in thylakoid membrane consisting of a reaction-center complex surrounded by numerous light-harvesting complexes  
🗑
reaction-center complex   show
🗑
light-harvesting complex   show
🗑
show specialized molecule that shares the reaction-center complex with a pair of chlorophyll a molecules and that accepts an electron from them  
🗑
show one of the two light-capturing units in a chloroplast's thylakoid membrane; 2 molecules of p700 chlorophyll a at its reaction center  
🗑
photosystem I   show
🗑
light harvesting complexes   show
🗑
show solar-powered transfer of an electron from the reaction-center chlorophyll a pair ro the primary electron acceptor  
🗑
P680 (note: refers to wavelength that most effectively is absorbed)   show
🗑
show reaction center of chlorophyll a of photosystem I  
🗑
show occurs during light reaction of photosynthesis; flow of electrons through photosystems and other molecular components built into the thylakoid membrane to synthesize ATP and NADPH  
🗑
show strongest biological oxidizing agent known  
🗑
plastoquinone, cytochrome complex and plastocyanin   show
🗑
linear electron flow   show

🗑
show carbon enters Calvin cycle in form of _____ and leaves in the form of _______  
🗑
glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate (G3P)   show
🗑
carbon fixation   show
🗑
show most abundant protein in chloroplasts and most abundant protein on earth; catalyzes carbon fixation in Calvin cycle (attaches CO2 to RuBP)  
🗑
transpiration   show
🗑
show a plant that uses the Calvin cycle for the initial steps that incorporate CO2 into organic material, forming a 3-carbon compound (3-phosphoglycerate) as the first stable intermediate  
🗑
C4 plants   show
🗑
show rice, wheat, soybeans; as CO2 becomes scarce within air spaces of leaf, rubisco can bind O2 in place of CO2  
🗑
show a metabolic pathway that consumes oxygen and ATP, releases CO2 and decreases photosynthetic output; generally occurs on hot, dry, bright days, where stromata close and the oxygen concentration in the leaf exceeds that of CO2
