Photosynthesis
________ is the conversion of light to chemical energy and consists of two reactions: light reactions and carbon- fixation reactions. The formula for photosynthesis is CO2 +12H20 light→ C6H12O6 + 6O2 + 6H20.
RUBP
________ (ribulose- 1, 5- biphosphate) is the starting and ending compound of the cycle.
Carbon fixation reactions
________ (Calvin Cycle) describe how ATP and NADPH used to synthesize carbohydrates.
ATP
________ is an energy source.
reduction phase
In the ________, 3PG is reduced by NADPH with energy from the breakdown of ATP.
Pigments
________ are light- absorbing molecules.
NADPH
________ are electron carriers and light absorbers.
Wavelengths
________ that are not absorbed are reflected /transmitted.
Autotrophs
________ make their own food and heterotrophs take food from outside sources.
photosystem II
In ________, water molecules are split to produce oxygen (O2)
carbon fixation stage
The ________ is catalyzed by carboxylase (rubisco)
G3P
________ is the starting molecule for many plant cell metabolic pathways.
Light reactions
________ are composed of photosystems (groupings of proteins and pigment molecules)
Calvin cycle
The ________ uses ATP and NADPH to synthesize carbohydrates, is also a cyclical pathway, and occurs in three stages: carbon fixation, reduction, and regeneration.
RUBP
________ is regenerated using 5 molecules of G3P.
pigment
Each ________ has a specific absorption spectrum.
carbon fixation stage
In the ________, CO2 (a gas) is converted to a solid form (a carbohydrate)
Pigments
________ found in land plants are Chlorophyll A and Chlorophyll B.
Photosynthesis consists of two reactions
light reactions and carbon-fixation reactions
The Calvin Cycle occurs in three stages
carbon fixation, reduction, and regeneration
photosystem I
In __________, NADPH is produced.
regeneration cycle
In the ___________, there are three turns of the Calvin Cycle which generate six molecules of G3P.
