1
New cards

Chloroplast

site for photosynthesis

2
New cards

Cuticle

prevents H2O loss

3
New cards

Vascular bundle

transports H2O and C6H12O6

4
New cards

Palisade Mesophyll

photosynthesis (holds chloroplast)

5
New cards

Spongy mesophyll

gas exchange and photosynthesis.

6
New cards

Stomata

regulates gas exchange H2O loss

7
New cards

epidermis

hydrophobic, doesn’t let water out of the leaf.

8
New cards

carbon fixation

first stage of calvin cycle

9
New cards

reduction

second stage of calvin cycle

10
New cards

regeneration

third stage of calvin cycle

11
New cards

Rubisco

an enzyme that combines RUBP and CO2

12
New cards

PSII

where light first hits to excite electrons

13
New cards

Photo excitation-

(step 1) when the elctrons become excited

14
New cards

Electron transport chain-

(step 2) when the excited protein from PSII goes through a bunch of different membrane proteins.

15
New cards

Photolysis-

(step 3) the process of splitting water, from H2O to H+, O2, and e-, this electron replaces the one in photosystem 2

16
New cards

Chemiosmosis-

(step 4) when the H+ ions go through the ATP synthase.

17
New cards

reduction in LDP-

when ADP turns into ATP, and NADP+ turns into NADPH
