 Based on the cycle of photosynthesis and cellular respiration, one can say that the ultimate original source of energy for all living things on Earth is | the sun |
| The process whereby plants capture energy and make complex molecules is known as | photosynthesis |
| Suspended in the fluid stroma of chloroplasts | stacks of thylakoids called grana |
| light reactions : thylakoids :: | Calvin cycle : stroma |
| The role of chlorophyll in photosynthesis is to | absorb light energy |
| When light strikes an object, the light will be | reflected, absorbed and transmitted |
| Chlorophyll is green because | it reflects green wavelengths of light |
| The source of oxygen produced during photosynthesis is | water |
| The major products of photosynthesis that is released into the atmosphere is | oxygen |
| What process occurs in the thylakoid membrane | light reactions |
| The energy used in the Calvin cycle for the production of carbohydrate molecules comes from | ATP made in the light reactions of photosynthesis |
| During photosynthesis, the series of reactions that create the glucose needed for energy and growth is called | the Calvin cycle |
| All organic molecules contain carbon atoms that ultimately can be traced back in the food chain to | carbon dioxide from the atmosphere |
| The main pigment associated with the two photosystems is | chlorophyll |
| Pigments that absorb other wavelengths and appear yellow and orange | accessory pigments |
