Chapter 10-Personal Outline Flashcards
_________________: organisms, which collect the thermal energy of the sun and turn it into chemical energy. They stored this energy is carbohydrates within their structures.
Photosynthesis:
________________: organisms, which sustain themselves without eating anything derived from other living beings. These organisms are producers.
Autotrophs:
________________: organisms, which obtain their nutrients by second major role of nutrition. These organisms are consumers.
Heterotrophs:
_________________: the tissue in the interior of the leaf. The chloroplasts are mainly found here. This gives the leaf its green color.
Mesophyll:
________________: Carbon Dioxide enters and leaves the leaf via these small pores
Stomata:
__________________: a chloroplast has these envelopes surrounds by membranes and filled with this liquid.
Stoma:
_________________: the individual sac that fill the chloroplast.
Thylakoids:
_____________: stacks of thylakoids
Grana:
______________: the green pigment that gives leaves their color, resides in the thylakoid membranes of the chloroplast.
Chlorophyll:
___________________: stacks of thylakoids
Grana:
_____________: the green pigment that gives leaves their color, resides in the thylakoid membranes of the chloroplast.
Chlorophyll:
____________: two stages of photosynthesis
Light Reactions:
______________: the synthesis of the energy retrieved during the light reactions of photosynthesis
Calvin Cycle:
______________ the acceptor of protons from the light absorbed by the chlorophyll during photosynthesis.
NADP:
___________: the light reaction, which generated ATP using chemiosmosis to power the addition of a P to and ADP.
Photophosphorylation:
_______________: this initial incorporation of carbon into inorganic compounds.
Carbon Fixation:
___________________: the distance between the crests of electromagnetic waves
Wavelength:
________________: the entire range of radiation.
Electromagnetic Spectrum:
______________: Discrete light particles.
Photons
__________________: an instrument that measures the various wavelengths of light. This machine also directs beams of light at different wavelengths to measure the fraction of light and refraction.
Spectrophotometer:
_______________: key light capturing pigment that participates directly in light reactions
Chlorophyll A:
_____________: a separate group called carotenoids
Chlorophyll B
________________: this profiles the relative effectiveness of different wavelengths of radiation in driving the process.
Action Spectrum:
________________: composed of reaction center complex and light harvesting complex
Photosystem
______________________ the synthesis part of the photosystem
Reaction Center:
_________________: these gather thermal energy from sun.
Light Harvesting Complex:
____________________________: these are composed of chlorophyll and they normally take part in the light-harvesting complex.
Primary electron receptors:
____________________: it occurs during light reactions of photosynthesis. The flow of electrons from high to low concentrations.
Linear Electron Flow:
________________: a sugar that synthesizes in the Calvin cycles.
Glyceraldehyde 3-phosphate
________________________: photo excited electrons can take an alternative path; it uses a photosystem.
Cyclic Electron flow
__________________: the first carbon fixation if a 3 carbon compound commonly agriculture plants.
C3 Plants
_______________: these plants preface the Calvin Cycle.
C4 Plants
_________________: these are arranged tightly around leaf veins. They provide structure and nutrition.
Bundle Sheath Cells
______________________: these specialize in the function crassulcean acid metabolism or CAM, they store organic acid and they make during the night.
CAM Plants
