Photosynthesis

Chlorophyll

________ is the pigment which resides on the thylakoid membranes of the thylakoids.

Autotrophs

________ are organisms who are able to create their own food by mainly photosynthesis.

heterotrophs

All ________ depend directly or indirectly on autotrophs.

Carotenoids

A reflects blue- green light, B reflects olive green light. ________ reflect orangish light and absorb some green light which means that the energy from green is not completely reflected.

Photosystems

________ are found below the pigments on the thylakoid membrane and are composed of two complexes: A reaction- center complex holds a special pair of chlorophyll a and a primary electron acceptor.

Photosynthesis

What is a redox process: Because we know that the O in H2O becomes the oxygen as a product, the H2O is oxidized to form O2? Answer with a single word or term.

G3P

________ is the final product of the dark reactions and is used in metabolic pathways to eventually become sugar or other macromolecules outside of photosynthesis.

Spectrophotometers

When you see green, the pigment absorbs all light except for green light which it reflects. ________ are devices that measure absorbance and the plot that is formed with absorption versus wavelength is known as an absorbance spectrum.

Calvin Cycle

What is sort of like the opposite of the krebs cycle in that instead of Acetyl CoA breaking down, the process is anabolic and 3 CO2 molecules enter and are reduced by NADPH so that it can build up? Answer with a single word or term.

Photons

________ are a quantized form of light and can be thought of as discrete packets of energy.

EM waves

The Nature of Sunlight: The electromagnetic spectrum contains light and other forms of waves or energy. All ________ travel at the speed of light but have different wavelengths.

Regeneration of RuBP

6 of these molecules are formed from 3 molecules of CO2 but keep in mind this is with the addition of RuBP at the beginning. ________: 5 of the 6 G3P molecules become 3 RuBP again so that the cycle can occur again.

Heterotrophs

What are not able to produce their own food? Answer with a single word or term.
