Q

Name a cam plant

A

Pineapple

17
Q

At night, PEPCase fixes Carbon dioxide to PEP. PEP is stored in vacuoles. During the day makati is produced and brings Carbon to the Calvin cycle what is this describing

A

Cam photosynthesis

18
Q

Won the noble prize in 1961 for his work defining all the enzymatic reactions of the Calvin cycle

A

Melvin Calvin

19
Q

The chemical energy stored in the bonds of ATP and NADPH is used to create the chemical energy in the bonds of a carbohydrate (exergonic reaction coupled to endergonic reactions)

A

An enzymatic reaction of the Calvin cycle

20
Q

a coenzyme of oxidation reaction (redox) in photosynthesis, and is reduced by 2 hydrogen atoms to NADPH

A

NADP+

21
Q

Visible light is made up of wavelengths ranging from

A

380nm to 750 mm

22
Q

Travels in waves moving at the same speed, these waves have different and distinct wavelengths is

A

Solar radiation

23
Q

Absorbs wavelengths in violet, blue, and green range and also reflects orange and yellow in the fall

A

Carotenoids

24
Q

Contain both the light absorbing pigments and the electron acceptor molecules for the necessary electron transport chain

A

Photosystems

25
Q

Absorbs wavelengths in blue, violet, and red spectrum

A

Chlorophyll A and Chlorophyll B

26
Q

Carrier proteins and enzymes

A

ATP Synthase complexes

27
Q

Electrons begin to move from molecule to molecule ( usually not a cycle). Pigment complexes arranged to form reaction centers absorb visible light➡️electrons gain enough energy to move to a nearby electron acceptor is

A

Photosystem II

28
Q

The electron acceptors that move electrons down the electron transport chain. Puts two types of gradient together and is an electrochemical gradient.

A

Plastoquinone and cytochrome complexes

29
Q

Creates an opportunity for more h+ pumping and therefore more ATP production

A

Cyclic pathway

30
Q

Molecules in photosystem II that pass electrons create the

A

Electron transport chain

31
Q

Instead of replacing the electrons by stripping water the electrons come from photosystem II, these electrons have lost water so they lower energy electrons is

A

Photosystem I

32
Q

A molecule of carbon dioxide from the atmosphere is covalently bonded to RuBP (5carbons) to from a 6 Carbon molecule is

A

Carbon dioxide fixation

33
Q

H+ moving through ATP synthase to produce ATP

A

Chemiosmosis

34
Q

G3P can be converted to

A

Sucrose, starch, cellulose, components of fatty acid synthesis and amino acid synthesis
