chapter 7 biology

Question 1

The process of converting solar energy into chemical
energy is called

Answer 1

photosynthesis

Question 2

Photosynthetic organisms, such as plants, algae, and
cyanobacteria are called

Answer 2

autotrophs

Question 3

These producers produce carbohydrates not only for
themselves, but also to feed consumers we call

Answer 3

heterotrophs

Question 4

Inside the chloroplasts are other membranes

Answer 4

thykaloids

Question 5

Chloroplasts have a double membrane, and a semifluid
interior called (outside the thykaloid)

Answer 5

stroma

Question 6

Carbon dioxide in the air enters the plant through small
openings in the leaves

Answer 6

stomata

Question 7

e disc-shaped organelles that
capture light energy and carry out photosynthesis.

Answer 7

chloroplasts

Question 8

flattened saclike membranes
arranged in stacks

Question 10

what is glucose

Answer 10

C6H12O6

Question 11

weaker in photosynthesis

Answer 11

Question 12

stronger in photosynthesis

Answer 12

ATP and NADPH

Question 13

where does the Calvin cycle take place

Answer 13

Takes place in the stroma of the
chloroplast

Question 14

converts the
remaining ten G3P molecules into molecules
called ribulose (RuBP)

Answer 14

rubisco

Question 15

six carbon dioxide (CO2) molecules are joined with six 5-carbon compounds (RuBP) to form twelve 3-carbon molecules called 3-phosphoglycerate

Answer 15

carbon fixation

Question 16

Plants that fix this 3-
carbon molecule are

Answer 16

Question 17

fix CO2 into 4-carbon compounds instead of
3-carbon compounds like in the Calvin cycle.

Answer 17

C4 plants

Question 18

this allows for sufficient carbon uptake while minimizing
water loss.

Answer 18

C4 photosynthesis

Question 19

use another
adaptive pathway to maximize photosynthesis activity

Answer 19

CAM plants (crassulacean)
