Biology- 6.1 Flashcards
Lost and electron?
Oxidated
Redox Reaction:
Electrons are the particle being moved from one product to the next
Gained an electron?
Reduced
First stage of photo?
Light reactions
Second stage of photosynthesis?
Calvin cycle
Equation for photosynthesis
6 CO2 + 6 H2O —> C6H12O6 + 6 O2
Chloroplast
Organelles that absorb light, has membrane
Flattened sacs in chloroplast
Thylakoids
Stacks of thylakoids
Grana
Solution in chloroplast
Stroma
Where does the light reaction and Calvin cycle take place?
Light- thylakoid membrane
Calvin- stroma
Pigment
Compounds that absorb light
Chlorophyll
In thylakoids membrane, pigment
Carotenoids
Yellow orange and brown pigments in membrane
Accepts electrons from chlorophyll a
Primary electron acceptor
