Ch. 8 Photosynthesis

Question 1

Self -feeders, sustain themselves w/o eating anything derived from other living beings; they produce their oraganic molecules from CO2 and other inorganic raw materials from the environment

Answer 1

Autotrophs

Question 2

Chloroplast capture light from the sun to convert to chemical energy that is stored in sugar and other organic molecules

Answer 2

Photosynthesis

Question 3

Biological consumers

Answer 3

Answer 14

H2O

Question 15

The steps of photosynthesis that occur in the thyLakoid membranes, converting solar energy to chemical energy

Answer 15

Light reactions

Question 16

When light is absorbed by chlorophyll drives a transfer of electrons and hydrogen ions from water to what acceptor?

Answer 16

NADP+
