Honors Biology: Unit 5 - Photosynthesis Learning Targets

Carbon fixation

What is related to plant growth because it eventually helps to produce 6 molecules of PGAL, one of which is used to make glucose and other organic compounds that can help the plant grow? Answer with a single words or term.

reactants of photosynthesis

The ________ are carbon dioxide and water.

Energy

________ is used to convert carbon dioxide and water into organic compounds that the organism can actually use.

Photorespiration

________ occurs when the enzyme RuBisCO oxygenates RuBP, which wastes some of the energy photosynthesis produces.

Heterotrophs

________ can not produce their own food, so they also acquire energy indirectly from sunlight.

Photosynthesis

________ occurs in plants but is also related to the growth of animals.

NADP+

________ is reduced into NADPH by the electrons and protons.

Chemoautotrophs

________ fix their own carbon dioxide and require less energy than photosynthesis.

glycolate

The ________ is transported out of the chloroplast and partially broken down to carbon dioxide, so the organism loses fixed carbon atoms.

Autotrophs

________ take energy from nonliving materials and turn inorganic molecules into organic molecules like sugar.

Summarise chemoautotrophs

________ get their energy and matter.

second stage of the Calvin cycle

Who is organization? Answer with a single words or term.

ATP

ATP Synthesis then occurs when H+ moves through the ATP synthase, converting ADP + P into ________ in the stroma. The ________ is later used in the Calvin cycle, the other stage of photosynthesis.

stage of photosynthesis

The what is the light reaction, which occurs in the thylakoid of the chloroplast (they look like pancakes stacked up)

Photosynthesis

________ occurs in plants, but is also related to the growth of animals.

Energy

What is used to move the H+ against the concentration gradient into the thylakoid space? Answer with a single words or term.

Chemoautotrophs

________ get their energy and matter from the oxidation of inorganic substances, such as iron, sulfur, nitrogen, etc because they are found in the deep earth or deep ocean and grow where sunlight is limited.

Carbon fixation

________ is when carbon dioxide is fixed into an organic molecule (PGA)
