Question 18

Makes sugar from carbon dioxide

Answer 18

Calvin cycle

Question 19

First step of a photosystem

Answer 19

Photon strikes chlorophyll

Question 20

Second step in a photosystem:

Answer 20

An electron is highly energized

Question 21

Third step of a photosystem:

Answer 21

The high energy electron is caught by an electron accptor

Question 22

Two types of photosystems:

Answer 22

Photosystem II

Photosystem I

Question 23

Photosystem II

Answer 23

First photosystem that occurs; “water splitting photosystem”

Question 24

Photosystem I

Answer 24

Second photosystem that occurs; “NADPH producing photosystem”

Question 25

Event that connects the two photosystems

Electron transport chain (ETC)

Question 26

First step of photosynthesis

Answer 26

The light reactions

Question 27

What does the ETC do?

Answer 27

It releases energy that the chloroplasts use to make ATP and connects the two photosystems
