Quarter 2 Week 2 Flashcards
A major process necessary for plants to produce their own food.
Photosynthesis
Light absorbing molecule, it helps absorb the energy from light.
Pigments.
A green photosynthetic pigment.
Chlorophyll
What are the two energies-rich compounds that chlorophyll make
- ATP
- NADPH (Nicotinamide Adenine Dinucleotide Phosphate)
Its the primary pigment and the main light - absorbing molecule used in the process of photosynthesis.
Chlorophyll
It absorbed RED & BLUE light, and reflects GREEN light.
Chlorophyll
The only pigment directly involved in the light reactions in photosynthesis.
Chlorophyll A
It primarily absorbs light from the blue-violet and red in the spectrum and appears dark green because it mainly reflects green light.
Chlorophyll A
All plant, algae, and cyanobacteria have these.
Chlorophyll A
Also known as accessory pigment
Chlorophyll B
It does not take part directly in the light reactions but instead transmit absorbed energy to chlorophyll a molecule that are directly involved.
Chlorophyll B
Algae, and cyanobacteria have these
Chlorophyll B
Primarily absorb blue-green light, and reflects yellow or yellow-orange light.
Carotenoids (accessory pigment)
It is the cause of autumn coloration, it slowed photosynthesis and chlorophyll has broken down because of cold temperatures.
Carotenoids
What gives energy to the chlorophyll?
