|---|---|
 photosynthesis | the process by which plants and some other organisms convert light energy to chemical energy. |
| oxygen | byproduct of photosynthesis |
| plants, algae, protists, bacteria | 4 photoautotrophs that use photosynthesis |
| shut down chlorophyll, turn on carotenoids | why leaves change color in the fall |
| carotenoids don't produce enough ATP | why leaves die and fall to the ground |
| chemical equation for photosynthesis | 6 CO2 + 6 H20 -photosynthesis (light energy) = Glucose (C6 H12 06) and Oxygen gas (O2) |
| grana | thylakoid stacks |
| stroma | goo in the chloroplasts, where the carbon cycle takes place |
| thylakoids | closely stacked, flattened stacks that are the place of light reactions |
| mesophyll cells | the photosynthetic cells of a leaf |
| outer and inner membranes | the protective layers of the chloroplast |
| pigments in thylakoid membrane | how plants get the light needed for photosynthesis? |
| roots | how plants get the water they need for photosynthesis |
| stomata (pores) | how plants get carbon dioxide needed for photosynthesis |
| mitochondria | where glucose goes after the calvin cycle |
| stroma | where the products of light reactions (ATP and NADPH) go |
| thylakoids | where the products of the calvin cycle (ADP and NADP+) go |
| phototrophs and chemotrophs | 2 examples of autotrophs |
| algae | organism that performs the most photosynthesis on earth |
| chemical energy | photosynthesis converts light energy to _______ |
| false | True or False: photosynthesis occurs only in the day |
| leaves | special organ of a plant adapted for catching and absorbing sunlight |
| chloroplasts | special organelles in phototrophic cells that are the place of photosynthesis |
| chlorophyll | green pigment found on the membrane of the thylakoids |
| reflects/transmits | what chlorophyll does to green light |
| carotenoids | pigment in chloroplasts that absorbs sunlight and reflects colors other than green |
| carbon fixation | when plants and other phototrophs absorb carbon dioxide |
| cellular respiration | what plants need oxygen for |
| water | where the oxygen released from phototrophs comes from |
| sunlight | where energy for photosynthesis comes from |
| energy decreases | what happens when wavelength increases |
| light reaction and calvin cycle | two stages of photosynthesis |
| NADP+ and ADP | products of the calvin cycle |
| NADPH, ATP, and oxygen | products of light reactions |
| carbon fixation | another name for the calvin cycle (reorganization of carbon molecules) |
| 1 G3P | 1/2 glucose = |
| electron carrier | another name for NADPH |
| RuBP | the molecule that starts off and ends the calvin cycle |
| inverse | type of relation between energy and wavelength |
| NADP+, ADP+P, and water | reactants of a light reaction |
| NADPH, ATP, oxygen | products of light reactions |
