|
photosynthesis?
|
is the process that takes place in autotrophs.
|
auto
|
|
|
photosynthesis involves what?
|
it involves using energy to build organic molecules and breaking down organic molecules in which energy is stored.
|
organic
|
|
|
ATP?
|
is a portable form of energy "currency" inside cells.
|
|
|
|
plant cells use light energy to make?
|
ATP and NADPH.
|
|
|
|
plants get electrons to replace the excited electrons that leave chlorophyll molecules by?
|
splitting water molecules.
|
|
|
|
the final stage of photosynthesis during which sugar molecules are produced is?
|
light independent
|
|
|
|
what are the reactions that "fix" carbin dioxide are called?
|
dark reactions.
|
|
|
|
most of the energy used by life on earth comes from the?
|
sun.
|
|
|
|
light energy is converted to chemical energy through the process of?
|
photosynthesis.
|
|
|
|
which of the following organisms do not carry out photosynthesis?
|
animals.
|
|
|
|
ATP is composed of a nitrogenous base, a sugar, and?
|
three phosphate groups.
|
|
|
|
ATP is called a cells energy "currency" because?
|
ATP can be "made" in one place and "spent" or used in another.
|
|
|
|
when a phosphate group is removed from an ATP molecule,
|
a substantial amount of energy is released.
|
|
|
|
an enzyme that catalyzes the synthesis of ATP is
|
ATP synthase.
|
|
|
|
the series of molecules that cause protons to build up on one side of a membrane is a
|
electron transport chain
|
|
|
|
a space inside the inner membrane of a chloroplast is called the
|
stroma.
|
|
|
|
when electronsof a chlorophyll molecule are raised to a higher energy level they,
|
are transferred to an electron carrier.
|
|
|
|
chlorophyll is green because?
|
oxygen
|
|
|
|
the major atmospheric by-product of photosynthesis is
|
oxygen
|
|
|
|
because of photosynthesis,
|
the atmosphere is rich in oxygen gas.
|
|
|
|
at a hydrogen ion pump of the thylakoid membrane,
|
energy from electrons is used to make ATP.
|
|
|
|
the energy used in the the Calvin cycle for the production of sugar molecules comes from
|
ATP and NADPH.
|
|
|
|
carbon dioxide is converted into organic compounds in the
|
the Calvin cycle
|
|
|
|
during the final stage of photosynthesis, sugars are produced from
|
carbon dioxide
|
|
|
|
normal human males develop from fertilized eggs containing which of the following sex chromosome combinations?
|
XY
|
