Chapter 10 Vocab Flashcards
Autotrophs
An organism that obtains organic food molecules without eating other organisms are substances derived from other organisms
Absorption spectrum
The range of a pigments ability to absorb various wavelengths of light
CAM plants
Hey plant that uses Christ Ulysse and acid metabolism and adoption for photosynthesis in good conditions in this process carbon dioxide entering opens tomorrow during the right night is converted to organic acids which release CO2 for the Calvin cycle during the day once tomato are closed
Chlorophyll
Hey green pigment located within the chloroplasts of plants and algae in the membranes of certain prokaryotes colorful you participate directly in the light reactions which convert solar energy to chemical energy
Chlorophyll B
And accessory photosynthetic pigment that transferred energy to Chloro fill a
Chlorophyll A
Of photosynthetic pigment that participates directly and light reactions which convert solar energy to chemical energy
Carotenoid
And accessory pigments either yellow or orange in the chloroplasts of plants and some prokaryotes but was open wavelengths of light that chlorophyll cannot carry you to know I need to broaden the spectrum of colors that can drive photosynthesis
Calvin cycle
The second of two major stages in photosynthesis
Light reactions
The first of two major stages of photosynthesis
NADP+
Nicotinamide adenine do nucleotide phosphate any electronic scepter that as NADP H temporarily stored mergers electrons produced during the light reactions
Mesophyll
in lycophytes A small leaf with a single u branched vein
Heterotrophs
An organism that obtains organic food molecules by eating other organisms or substances derived from them
Photosynthesis
The conversion of light energy to chemical energy that is stored in sugars or other organic compounds
Photophosphorylation
The process of generating ATP from ADP and phosphate by means of a proton motive force generated across the thylakoid membrane of the chloroplast or the membrane of certain prokaryotes during the light reactions of photosynthesis
Photosystem
Polite capturing unit located in the thylakoid membrane of the chloroplast or in the membrane of some prokaryotes consisting of a reaction center complex surrounded by numerous but harvesting complexes
Photosystem 1
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
Photosystem II
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
Photorespiration
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
Stomata
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
Stroma
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
Spectrophotometer
An instrument that measures the proportions of light of different wavelengths absorbed and transmitted by a pigment solution
Thylakoids
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
