Bio 2

Front 1

Photosynthesis

Back 1

Using sunlight to make carbs/ energy , endergonic reaction that produces sugars from CO2 and light energy.

Front 2

Autotrophs

Back 2

"Self-feeders", make their own food from ions and simple molecules

Front 3

Heterotroph

Back 3

"Different-feeder", Have to obtain the sugars and many of the other macromolecules they need from other organisms

Front 4

Cellular respiration

Back 4

Exergonic redox reactions that produces CO2 and ATP from sugars

Front 5

Calvin cycle

Back 5

Reactions that reduce CO2 and produce sugar

Front 6

Chloroplasts

Back 6

Bright green organelles, the site of photosynthesis

Front 7

Thylakoids

Back 7

Interior of a chloroplast, flattened sac like structures, often occur in interconnected stacks called grana. Space inside a thylakoid is the lumen, the fluid filled space between thylakoids and the inner membrane is the stroma

Front 8

Pigments

Back 8

Molecules that absorb only certain wavelengths of light, they have colors because we see the wavelengths they don't absorb

Front 9

Wavelength

Back 9

The distance between 2 successive wave crests/ troughs

Front 10

Visible light

Back 10

Electromagnetic radiation that humans can see, ranges in wavelength from 400 to 710 nanometers

Front 11

Photons

Back 11

Particle - like nature of light that exist in discrete packets

Front 12

Chlorophylls

Back 12

Chlorophyll a and b absorb strongly in the blue and red regions of the visible spectrum

Front 13

Carotenoids

Back 13

Absorb in the blur and green parts of the visible spectrum (appear yellow, orange, or red)
