What are the flattened sacs inside the chloioplast?

Where does the Calvin Cycle occur?

What is the solution surrounding the grana called?

What pathway do plants go through by fixing Carbon Dioxide to 4 carbon compounds in hot, dry climates?

What pathway do plants go through by fixing Carbon Dioxide to 4 carbon compounds in very dry climates by opening the stomata at night?

Small pores located on the undersides of leaves are called?

The incorporation of Carbon Dioxide into organic compounds is called

An organelle found in plants and algae

Reaction when the sun's energy is captured and converted to chemical energy stored as ATP and NADPH

Process converts light energy to chemical energy

An important pigment that gives plants their green color

Compounds that absorb light

Enzyme assisted reaction in which organic compounds by using carbon dioxide and energy stored in ATP and NADPH

The synthesis of ATP

Chain that transports excited electrons from one molecule to another

The acceptor of electrons lost from chlrorphyll a

Organisms that eat other food

Organisms that produce their own food

The Light Reactions occur here

A cluster of pigments and proteins

Stacks of thylakoids

These absorb the photons of light

The least helpful color that is reflected in photsynthesis is:

This scientist determined that the plant's mass come from outside sources (discovered it didn't come from soil, but water in soil)

This scientist discovered plants produce oxygen by using a candle and a glass jar

This scientist discovered that plants only produce oxygen when exposed to sunlight

The waxy, protective layer of the leaf that prevents too much water from entering and leaving

The photons of sunlight enter through here to start photosynthesis

Where carbon dioxide enters, oxygen exits, and water enters and exits

Where water diffuses on the leaf

The layer of photosynthetic cells

Layer of cells rich in chloroplasts

Brings water and nutrients to the leaf

The two parts of light

A particle of light

Longest waves with lowest frequency on Electromagnetic Spectrum

Waves that pass through some objects and heat others

Waves that heat dark but reflect light material

The smallest part of electromagnetic spectrum, visible to humans

Waves that cause surnburn and destruction of ozone

Waves that penetrate muscle but not bone

Waves used in cancer

The first step of the light reaction

When the excited electron breaks the water molecule it creates

The purpose of the Calvin Cycle is to turn carbon dioxide into this

A 5 carbon sugar combines with carbon dioxide to form

ATP and NADPH are used to convert the two 3 – carbon compounds to

2 PGAL/G3P molecules makes one

An opposite process of photosynthesis is

3 energy storing compounds are

Carbon Dioxide is used in the

Energy is stored in

The complete balanced equation of photosynthesis

The waves and photons of light are divided into

3 Factors that effect photosynthesis are
