25
the chemical energy that organisms need comes from
foods
26
food consists this that store energy in their chemical bonds
organic molecules
27
the gain of electrons and the loss of oxygen
Reduction Reaction
28
which part of the chemical equation of photosynthesis did reduction reaction?
6H2O, C6H12O6
29
anabolic, endergonic, carbon dioxide (CO2) requiring process that uses light energy (photons) and water (H2O) to produce organic macromolecules (glucose).
Photosynthesis
30
this manufacture glucose, and the building blocks of plants
Photosynthesis
31
oxygen gas is the byproduct of this process, and needed sunlight to generate
photosynthesis
32
smallest units of light, and oscillate along a path measured as wavelength
photons
33
this contains photons
electromagnetic spectrum
34
photosynthesis uses only small portion of the electromagnetic spectrum called
visible light
35
the color of the pigment comes from the
light reflected
36
this is the light that is ABSORBED by the pigments, and this provide energy used for photosynthesis
red and blue
37
disk like structure
thylakoid
38
the thylakoid is surrounded by a fluid filled space called
stroma
39
occurs in the thylakoid, and the conversion of light energy to chemical energy is initiated.
light dependent reactions
40
the reaction that synthesizes glucose, that occurs in the stroma
Calvin Cycle
41
contain pairs of photosystems
thylakoids
42
name of the photosystems
p700 (photosystem I), p680 (photosystem II)
43
work in tandem to produce the energy that will later be used in stroma to manufacture sugars
photosystems
44
consist of network accessory pigment molecules and chlorophyll
photosystems
45
the molecules that absorb the photons of light
chlorophyll
46
Within the ____, absorbed light energy excites the electrons to a higher state
pigment molecules
47
this will channel the excitation energy gathered by the pigment molecules to a reaction center chlorophyll molecules which pass the electrons to a series of proteins located on the thylakoid membrane.
photosystems
48
this strike the photosystems I and II simultaneously
photons of light
49
energized electrons are passed from the reaction center of photosystem II to electron passport chain
photosystem II
50
electrons that are lost by p700 are replaced by _____, that involves oxidation of a water molecule, producing electrons and oxygen gas
photolysis
51
important input to the cellular respiration pathways
oxygen gas
52
as electrons pass through the electron chain, the energy from the electron is used to pump hydrogen ions from stroma to thylakoid, creating a
concentration gradient
53
this gradient powers a protein called ATP synthase, that phosphorylates ADP to form ATP
concentration gradient
54
the low energy electrons leaving photosystem II are shattered to
photosystem I
55
low energy electrons are reenergized and are passed through an electron transport chain where they are used to reduce the electron carrier NADP+ to NADPH
photosystem I
56
when the chloroplast receiving a steady supply of protons NADPH and ATP molecules are rapidly being provided to the ____
metabolic pathways in the stroma
57
ATP and NADPH formed during light dependent reactions are used in to do what reaction?
stroma; Calvin Cycle reactions
58
consists of a series of reactions that reduce carbon dioxide to produce the carbohydrate glyceraldehyde-3 phosphate
Calvin Cycle
59
how many steps the Calvin Cycle consists of?
3
60
carbon dioxide attached to riboluse 1, 5 bisphosphate resulting in a carbon molecules that split into two-three carbon molecules.
Carbon Fixation
61
sequence of reactions of electrons from NADPH and ATP are used for
to reduce carbon dioxide
62
what enzyme is regenerated after the Calvin Cycle?
Riboluse 1, 5 bisphosphate
