Biology

Question 1

1st Law of Thermodynamics

Answer 1

Energy cannot be created or destroyed, but it can be transferred or transformed.

Question 2

2nd Law of Thermodynamics

Answer 2

Every transfer increases the entropy (disorder)

Question 3

Endergonic

Answer 3

Energy is absorbed

Question 4

Calvin Cycle

Answer 4

The term used for the reactions of photosynthesis that use energy stored by the light-dependent reactions to form glucose and other carbohydrate molecules.

Question 5

Calvin cycle

Answer 5

ATP is used to create sugars that the plant will use to grow and live, located in the stroma.

Question 6

Light dependent reaction

Answer 6

Light energy is captured by chloroplast and stored as ATP, located in the Thylakoid Membrane.

Question 7

Stroma

Answer 7

Fluid-filled space surrounding the grana.

Question 8

Chlorophyll

Answer 8

A pigment found in the thylakoid that absorbs light energy and uses it to produce carbohydrates.

Question 9

Grana

Answer 9

Stacks of thylakoids in a chloroplast.

Question 10

Thylakoids

Answer 10

Disc-like structure within a chloroplast that helps absorb light.

Question 11

ATP

Answer 11

Adenosine triphosphate, the primary energy carrier in living things.

Question 12

Photoautotroph

Answer 12

An organism that produces its own food using light energy ( like plants ).

Question 13

Photosynthesis

Answer 13

The process by which plants, algae, and some bacteria convert light energy to chemical energy in the form of sugars.

Question 14

Fitness

Answer 14

The ability of an organism to survive and reproduce in a given environment.

Question 15

Aerobic Respiration

Also called cell respiration

Answer 15

A chemical process in which oxygen is used to make energy from carbohydrates.
