photosynthesis

        Help!  

Question
Answer
photosynthesis   converts solar energy into chemical energy of a carbohydrate  
🗑
autotrophs   they produce their own food  
🗑
heterotrophs   consumers  
🗑
small holes in the leafs   Stomata  
🗑
chlorplasts   the organelle that carry on photosynthesis  
🗑
Stoma   semi fluid around the chloroplast  
🗑
Flattened sacs   thylakoids  
🗑
grana   stacked thylakiods  
🗑
Chlorophyll   pigment in plants; absorbs violet-blue/red light: reflects green light  
🗑
light reactions   photosynthesis using solar energy from the sun in the daytime  
🗑
Calvin cycles   light- independent reaction- carbon fixation; synthesizes organic molecules from CO2 in air and energy in ATP?NADPH; not need light to work takes place in the stroma  
🗑
mesophyll   thick layer of cells rich in chloroplasts  
🗑
Chlorophyll A   main photosynthetic pigment; only pigment that can directly convert light to chemical energy  
🗑
Chlorophyll B   secondary light- absorbing pigment; can absorb wavelengths that chlorophyll alpha can't  
🗑
Carotenoids   absorbs wavelenths not efficiently absorbed bt chlorophyll  
🗑
porphyrin ring   ring structure w/ alternating single/double bonds with MG atom in middle; energy channeled though carbon-bond system  
🗑
action spectrum   relative effectiveness of different light wavelengths on photosynthesis  
🗑
photoefficiency   high absorption efficiency leads to ability to absorb only a narrow bands of light  
🗑


   

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.
