Chapter 10

Question 1

Where does the Calvin Cycle occur?

Answer 1

Storma

Question 2

What is NADPH

Answer 2

It is NAD+ with a PH group on it, it acts as a temporary store for energized electrons

Question 3

What is Light Reactions

Answer 3

The first phase of Photosynthesis, where light is converted into ATP and NADPH in thylakoid membranes.

H2O is taken and O2 gas is given off

Question 4

What is the Calvin Cycle

Answer 4

2nd phase of photosynthesis where CO2 is reduced into carbohydrates (sugars), occurs in the Stroma as well.

Question 5

Reaction-center complex

Answer 5

a complex of proteins surrounded by chloropyll A and Electron Acceptors

Question 6

What is a light-harvesting complex

Answer 6

Supporting chlorophylls and caratenoids which capture mroe light and give it to the reaction-center

Question 7

Autotrophs

Answer 7

Organisms that do not need to feed on other organisms, as they create their own energy

Question 8

Heterotrophs

Answer 8

organisms that do not create their own energy, and need to feed on others.

Question 9

Chloroplasts

Answer 9

Found in the mesophyll (interior of plant cell).

Question 10

Stomata

Answer 10

Where CO2 enters the leaves

Question 11

Chlorophyll

Answer 11

Green pigment that gives leaves their color, resides in thylakoid membranes

Question 12

NADPH

Answer 12

Stores energized electrons

Question 13

Thylakoids

Answer 13

Little pancakes that convert light energy into ATP

Question 14

What happens when photons hit chlorophyll

Answer 14

Electrons in the chlorophyll are excited, causing energy to be released

Question 15

Photosystem II

Answer 15

A light-capturing system in the chlorophyll containing P680 C-A cells, which are best at taking in 680nm light

Question 16

Photosystem I

Answer 16

A light-capturing system in the chlorophyll with P700 cells.

Question 17

Linear Electron Flow

Answer 17

Linear electron flow is the process during the light-dependent reactions of photosynthesis where electrons move in a linear path through the photosynthetic electron transport chain to produce ATP and NADPH.L

Question 18

Linear Electron Flow passage

Answer 18

Electrons travel through PS (II) and make ATP as they travel to PS (I), which ends with producing NADPH

Question 19

What are ATP and NADPH used for in the Calvin Cycle

Answer 19

They are used to convert CO2 into glucose and other organic molecules

Question 20

What are the three steps of The Calvin Cycle

Answer 20

Carbon Fixation
Reduction
Regeneration
