carry out cellular respiration
|
hetertrophs n autotrophs
|
|
organelles that carry out photosynthesis
|
chloroplasts
|
|
gives plants their green color

stomata
|
|
containts pigment molecules forms thykaloids, sight where light reactions occure
|
thykaloid membrane
|
|
tubules that enclose a compartment known as the thykaloid lumen
|
thykaloid
|
|
stacked thykaloids
|
granum
|
|
fluid filled region of chloroplast between inner membrane and thkaloid membrane
|
stroma
|
|
photosystem 2 and 1 absorb light energy and produce ATP NADPH and O2
|
light reactions
|
|
ATP is used as a source of energy and NADPH is used as energy to make CO2 into a carbohydrate
|
Calvin Cycle
|
|
occurs in the stroma
|
Calvin cycle
|
|
take place in the thykaloid membrane
|
light reactions
|
|
carrier that accepts two electrons
|
NADPH
|
|
distance between peaks in a wave pattern
|
wavelength
|
|
all possible wavelengths of electromagnteic radiation
|
electromagnetic spectrum
|
|
massless and travels in a wavelike pattern; particle that makes up light
|
photons
|
|
molecules that absorbs light energy
|
pigment
|
|
when an electron is in a unstale state is considered
|
unstable
|
|
when a electron drops down to a lower state it can release energy in 3 ways
|
as light, as heat, or it could transfer energy to another electron
|
|
2 types of pigments found in chloroplasts
|
chlorophyll a and chlorophyll b
|
|
pigments that imparts color ragning from red to yellow
|
cartenoids
|
|
depicts the wavelengths of electromagnetic radiation that is absorbed by a pigment
|
absorbption spectrum
|
|
plants have different pigments because it
|
allows plants to absorb light at many wavelengths
|
|
the rate of photosynthesis of a whole plant at specific wavelengths
|
action spectrum
|
|
proteins and pigment molecules, absorb light during light reactions
|
photosystme one PSI
|
|
generates oxygen from water during light reactins
|
photosystem two PSII
|
|
produced in stroma from high-energy electrons that start in photosystem II
|
NADPH
|
|
made in thykaloid lumen by oxidation of water (photosystem II)

O2
|
|
producesin stroma by a synthase
|

|
|
produces equal amounts of ATP and NADPH
|
noncylic electron flow
|
|
mkes just ATP and increases amount of ATP
