Biology Vocab: Quiz 6

Front 1

The loop-shaped segment of the nephron (filtering unit that removes waste from the blood) of a vertebrate kidney. It plays a role in the transport of ions and water and the concentrating of urine

Back 1

Loop of Henle

Front 2

Process by which autotrophs trap energy from sunlight with chlorophyll and the use the energy to convert carbon dioxide and water into simple sugars

Back 2

Photosynthesis

Front 3

Molecules that absorb specific wavelengths of sunlight

Back 3

Pigments

Front 4

Reaction in the thylakoid membranes of chloroplast during light-dependent reactions where two molecules of water are split to form oxygen, hydrogen ions, and electrons

Back 4

Photolysis

Front 5

Chlorophyll-containing cell organelles that capture light energy from the sun, which is converted into chemical energy in food molecules

Back 5

Choloplast

Front 6

Light-absorbing pigment that is required for photosynthesis; absorbs most wavelengths of light except green

Back 6

Chlorophyll

Front 7

Series of reactions in which simple sugars are formed from carbon dioxide using ATP and hydrogen from the light-dependent reactions

Back 7

Calvin Cycle

Front 8

One of the structural units of a chloroplast in vascular plants, consisting of layers of thylakoids

Back 8

Grana

Front 9

Series of anaerobic chemical reactions in the cytoplasm that break down glucose into pyruvic acid

Back 9

Glycosis

Front 10

Organelle that transforms energy stored in food molecules into ATP

Back 10

Mitochondria
