Photosynthesis & Cellular Respiration

Front 1

Pigment

Back 1

Molecules that absorb specific wavelength.

Hint 1

Wavelengths

Front 2

Light-dependent Reactions

Back 2

Phase of photosynthesis where light energy is converted to chemical energy in the form of ATP; results in the splitting of water and release of oxygen

Front 3

Calvin Cycle

Back 3

Series of reactions during the light - independent phase of photosynthesis in witch simple sugars are formed from carbon dioxide using ATP and hydrogen from the light - dependent reactions.

Hint 3

Light - independent

Front 4

Chlorophyll

Back 4

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

Hint 4

Light - absorbing

Front 5

NADP+

Back 5

Electron carrier molecule; when carrying excited elections it becomes NADPH

Hint 5

Electron carrier molecule

Front 6

Photolysis

Back 6

Reaction during light - dependent reactions where two molecules of water are split to form oxygen, hydrogen ions, and electrons.

Hint 6

Light - dependent reactions

Front 7

Light-independent Reactions

Back 7

Phase of photosynthesis where energy is used to produce glucose and additional ATP molecules.

Hint 7

Energy to produce glucose

Front 8

Chloroplasts

Back 8

Organelle found in the cells of green plants that capture light energy and convert it to chemical energy.

Hint 8

ATP molecules

Front 9

Photosynthesis

Back 9

The process by which autotrophs trap energy from sunlight with chlorophyll and use this energy to convert carbon dioxide and water into simple sugars.

Hint 9

Trap energy from sunlight

Front 10

Electron Transport Chain

Back 10

Series of proteins embedded in a membrane along which energized electrons are transported; as electrons are passed from molecule to molecule, energy is released.

Hint 10

Molecule to molecule
