Q

Photosystem 1

A

One of two like capturing units in the chloroplast thylakoid membrane or in the membrane of some prokaryotes has two molecules of P 700 Corfield it’s reaction center

16
Q

Photosystem II

A

One of two light capturing units in a core plus thylakoid membrane or in the membrane of some prokaryotes it has two molecules of P6 80 chlorophyll a reaction center

17
Q

Photorespiration

A

Hey metabolic pathway that consumes oxygen and ATP releases carbon dioxide and decreases photosynthetic oh put photorespiration generally occurs on hot dry bright days when stomata clothes and the oxygen concentration in the leave exceeds that of carbon dioxide

18
Q

Stomata

A

A microscopic pores surrounded by guard cells in the epidermis of leaves and stems that allows gas exchange between the environment in the interior of the plant

19
Q

Stroma

A

Within the chloroplast the dense fluid of the chloroplast surrounding the thylakoid membrane involved in the synthesis of organic molecules from carbon dioxide and water

20
Q

Spectrophotometer

A

An instrument that measures the proportions of light of different wavelengths absorbed and transmitted by a pigment solution

21
Q

Thylakoids

A

A flattened membrane is stuck inside a core plus thylakoids exist in an interconnected system in the chloroplast and contain the molecule or machinery used to convert light energy to chemical energy
