Front 1

triose

Back 1

3 carbon compound in a simple sugar and is used to make more complex sugars, inluding gluclose, fructose and starch
-- it takes engery of light to accomplish this

Front 2

step one of phosynthesis reaction

Back 2

responsible for supplying nrg and nrgized electrons
--occurs on chloroplast membrane, thylakoids, sacs stacked = granum

Front 3

# 2 set of reactions in photosynthesis

Back 3

the energy and electrons are used to fix carbon dioxide and create a carb
---occurs in the water soluble matrix, or stroma, that bathes the thylakoids

Front 4

light

Back 4

a narrow segment of the electromagnetic spectrum
- behaves both as a wave and a particle
-shorter wavelegnth, the more energetic the radiation
-particles are called Photons, or quanta

Front 5

photons

Back 5

or quanta
-have discrete energy content
-shorter wavlenght, the photons are more energetic
