Photosynthesis

Chlorophyll

Chlorophyll

What is the pigment which resides on the thylakoid membranes of the thylakoids? Answer with a single words or term.

Carotenoids

________ reflect orangish light and absorb some green light which means that the energy from green is not completely reflected.

Autotrophs

There are two types of ways to gain nutrition in general: ________ are organisms who are able to create their own food by mainly photosynthesis.

Spectrophotometers

________ are devices that measure absorbance and the plot that is formed with absorption versus wavelength is known as an absorbance spectrum.

heterotrophs

All ________ depend directly or indirectly on autotrophs.

Water

What is split up into 2H+ and the O joins with another O that has been separated to form O2? Answer with a single words or term.

Photosystems

A(n) ________- a reaction- center complex associated with light- harvesting complexes: ________ are found below the pigments on the thylakoid membrane and are composed of two complexes: A reaction- center complex holds a special pair of chlorophyll a and a primary electron acceptor.

Photosynthesis

What is a redox process: Because we know that the O in H2O becomes the oxygen as a product, the H2O is oxidized to form O2? Answer with a single words or term.

G3P

________ is the final product of the dark reactions and is used in metabolic pathways to eventually become sugar or other macromolecules outside of photosynthesis.

Photons

________ are a quantized form of light and can be thought of as discrete packets of energy.

Photosynthesis converts

________ light energy into the chemical energy of food: Chloroplasts- The sites of photosynthesis: Most of the plants chloroplasts are found in leaves although there are many in the stem as well.

Carbon Fixation

The steps of the Calvin Cycle: ________: The 3 CO2 molecules enter one at a time and each attach to one molecule of a 5- carbon molecule known as RuBP forming an unstable 6- carbon sugar.

EM waves

All ________ travel at the speed of light but have different wavelengths.

light harvesting complex

A(n) ________ holds more pigments than the reaction center.

Regeneration of RuBP

________: 5 of the 6 G3P molecules become 3 RuBP again so that the cycle can occur again.

net reaction of this entire cycle

This process also uses ATP. The ________ is 3 CO2 and 9 ATP used to form one molecule of G3P.

water

What is split here and so not ________ is formed? Answer with a single words or term.

Heterotrophs

Autotrophs are organisms who are able to create their own food by mainly photosynthesis. What are not able to produce their own food? Answer with a single words or term.
