Q

Name a cam plant

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

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
Absorbs wavelengths in blue, violet, and red spectrum
Chlorophyll A and Chlorophyll B
26
Carrier proteins and enzymes
ATP Synthase complexes
27
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
Photosystem II
28
The electron acceptors that move electrons down the electron transport chain. Puts two types of gradient together and is an electrochemical gradient.
Plastoquinone and cytochrome complexes
29
Creates an opportunity for more h+ pumping and therefore more ATP production
Cyclic pathway
30
Molecules in photosystem II that pass electrons create the
Electron transport chain
31
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
Photosystem I
32
A molecule of carbon dioxide from the atmosphere is covalently bonded to RuBP (5carbons) to from a 6 Carbon molecule is
Carbon dioxide fixation
33
H+ moving through ATP synthase to produce ATP
Chemiosmosis
34
G3P can be converted to
Sucrose, starch, cellulose, components of fatty acid synthesis and amino acid synthesis
