Photosynthesis

organisms that make their own food

organisms that obtain their energy from the food they eat

adenosine triphosphate, a high energy molecule that releases energy

adenosine diphosphate, the "uncharged" version of ATP

the process in which energy in sunlight is used to convert water and carbon dioxide into sugars and oxygen

concluded that a plant gets most of its mass from water

candle in a jar experiment concluded that plants release oxygen

watched aquatic plants bubble and found that plants need sunlight to produce oxygen

Photosynthesis in words

Photosynthesis in chemical equation

in order to make carbohydrates a plant needs:

a pigment molecule found in chloroplasts that absorbs sunlight energy

where gas exchange occurs on the leaf

thickened regions of membrane in a chloroplast where photosynthesis takes place

stacks of thylakoids are called

the liquid surrounding the thylakoids

the light reaction takes place here

Chlorophyll A is the most important pigment, the rest are called __________ pigments

accessory pigments include:

pigments are found in the membrane in groups called...

the "photo" part of photosynthesis, energy is created and stored

the "synthesis" part of photosynthesis. energy is used to make sugars

the calvin cycle takes places during this reaction

this is made as a waste product of the light reaction

these high energy molecules are created during the light reaction

ETC

Photosystem I is also known as __________ because it absorbs this wavelength of light best.

Photosystem II is also known as ______ because it absorbs this wavelength of light best.

reactants for light reaction

products of light reaction

The area where light energy is absorbed and electrons are excited FIRST

as electrons move down the ETC, energy is used to create ___-

electrons are excited in photosystem II, move to a receptor and the energy used to create this high energy molecule

dark reactions happen here

true or false: dark reaction only happens in the dark
True False

carbon dioxide is "fixed" into ____-

It takes ___ turns of the Calvin cycle to release 1 PGAL

___ PGAL = 1 Glucose

the 6C moluecule created when CO2 is added to RuBP quickly converts into 2 ________

the enzyme that catalyzes the reaction where PGA is created (carboxylation)

PGA is reduced to PGAL with the help of these high energy molecules

PGAL needs _____ to convert to RuBP

product of the dark reaction

true or false: the Calvin cycle makes sugar from carbon dioxide
True False

hydrogen ions released when PSII splits water enter the stroma through this

energy is created when a hydrogen ion uses this channel to move through the thylakoid membrane
