16
Q

NADPH Production starts at

A

P700

17
Q

The excited electron of P680 then goes to

A

P700, reducing NADP+ into NADPH

18
Q

What happens as electrons move to lower energy states?

A

Hydrogen ions are pumped through the membrane, fueling the production of ATP via the synthase

19
Q

How does the Calvin Cycle produce sugar?

A

It takes light-dependent products and use with CO2

20
Q

The fluid in the chloroplast is called the

A

Stroma

21
Q

Stroma has folded stacks called

A

Thylakoids

22
Q

Carbon Fixation is done by the

A

Byproducts of light-dependent reactions, or during the Calvin Cycle

23
Q

Carbon Fixation is done in the

A

Stroma

24
Q

RuBisCo is an enzyme which

A

Catalyzes reaction between Co2 and RuBP without using ATP

25
Q

What RuBisCo picks up depends on

A

Concentration and temperature

26
Q

In higher temperatures, RuBisCo has a higher affinity for

A

O2

27
Q

At milder temperatures, RuBisCo has a higher affinity for

A

CO2
