Question 1

Calvin

Answer 1

uses the energy stored in ATP and NADPH during the light reactions to produce organic compounds (Ex: C6H12O6)
(Person): American scientist in 1911-1997 Melvin Calvin to discover the details of the Calvin cycle

Question 2

Grana:

Answer 2

a stack of thylakoids that looks like a stack of coins

Question 3

Thylakoids:

Answer 3

Inside the membrane pair surrounding the chloroplast are flattened disks that create a space for photosynthesis light reactions to occur.

Question 4

Stroma:

Answer 4

liquid that surrounds the thylakoids

Question 5

Photosystem I

Answer 5

A unit of several hundred chlorophyll molecules and carotenoid pigment molecules in the thylakoid membrane. Has a different role in light reactions then photosystem II.

Question 6

Photosystem II

Answer 6

A unit of several hundred chlorophyll molecules and carotenoid pigment molecules in the thylakoid membrane. Has a different role in light reactions then photosystem I.

Question 7

NADPH

Answer 7

(Nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate) Cofactor in certain reactions like the Calvin Cycle and nucleic acid synthesis.

Question 8

ATP

Answer 8

(Adenosine Triphosphate) Coenzyme that transfers energy to cells by releasing its phosphate groups.

Question 9

ADP

Answer 9

(Adenosine Diphosphate) Organic compound that is essential for the flow of energy in living cells during metabolism.

Question 10

Chloroplasts

Answer 10

Sack containing chlorophyll, also where photosynthesis occurs.

Question 11

Electrons

Answer 11

Particles with a negative charge that orbit the nucleus.

Question 12

Chemiosmosis

Answer 12

Process by which ATP is synthesized (makes more energy) It relies on a concentrated gradient of protons across the thylakoid membrane.

Question 13

Organic Compounds

Answer 13

A compound that came from living things and contains carbon.
