Photosynthesis -unit 1 Flashcards
Green pigment that traps light energy
Chlorophyll
Complex carbohydrate stored in plant cells
Starch
High energy compound that provides energy to drive carbon fixation
Atp
Raw material that supplies carbon atoms to be fixed into carbohydrate
Carbon dioxide
Light dependant stage of photosynthesis
Light reactions
Stage of photosynthesis that results in the formation of carbohydrate
Carbon fixation
By-product of the photolysis of water, needed for aerobic respiration
Oxygen
Raw material that becomes split into oxygen and hydrogen during photosynthesis
Water
Discus shaped structure in the cell of a green leaf
Chloroplast
Sugar molecule formed as a product of photosynthesis
Glucose
General term for a factor whose supply restrict the rate of a process
Limiting factor
Product of the splitting of water needed for carbon fixation
Hydrogen
Complex carbohydrate used to construct plant cell walls
Cellulose
Form of energy trapped by chorophyll and used in photosynthesis
Light
Form of energy contained in carbohydrate formed by photosynthesis
Chemical energy
