Q

A stack of thylakoid is called ______

21
Q

A space inside chloroplast.

22
Q

It is where photosynthesis occurs.

23
Q

A chloroplast theory is called _____.

A

Endosymbiotic theory.

24
Q

Cyan come from a greek word cyanin which means _______.

25
Where do cyanobacteria undergo photosynthesis?
Lakes, ponds, and oceans:
26
The thylakoid membrane encloses internal space called ____.
Thylakoid lumen
27
What is the meaning of NADP
Nicotinamide Adenine Dinucleotide Phosphate
28
During light dependent reaction, they used to power _______ that breaks the bonds of water absorbed through plant’s roots.
Photosystem II
29
_______ (Greek for mouth) are a little pores in leaves that open and close to let oxygen out and carbon dioxide in.
Stomata
30
When eater molecules break apart, the remaining two hydrogen atoms have a positive change and are called _______.
Protons.
31
It attaches a phosphate group to ADP (D= di or two) making it ATP (T= tri or three).
ATP synthase
32
It charges up the energy carrier molecule NADP+ into NADPH.
Photosystem I
33
It absorbed by the pigments to power photosystem I and II.
Photons
34
It splits water molecules into two protons (H+) and oxygen atoms are expelled as O2 gas through the stomata.
Photosystem II
35
NADP+ is powered up by _______ to make NADPH to be used in dark reactions.
Photosystem I
36
Light ______ reactions finish with charged NADPH, ATP, and released O2z
Dependent
37
It is also called the Calvin Cycle, the dark reactions start and end with the same products hence “cycle”
Light-independent reactions
38
All the dark reactions take place in the _______.
Stroma of the chloroplast
39
The Calvin Cycle starts with _____ and _______.
RuBP molecules and Carbon dioxide molecules.
40
It is the starting molecule and ending molecule of the calvin cycle.
RuBP
41
Since the intermediate combined RuBP and CO2, is unstable it quickly splits in half and forms 2 molecules of _____ which are stable.
3-PGA
42
The ATP and NADPH from the light reactions provide the energy to convert the two molecular of 3-PGA into their final form _____.
G3P
43
The calvin cycle occurs in _____.
Stroma of chloroplast
44
The calvin cycle converts the carbon from carbon dioxide into glucose in the stroma. This is called ______.
Carbon fixation.
