Photosynthesis Quiz Practice

The conversion of light energy to chemical energy

Organisms that produce their own food

Organisms unable to make their own food so they live off of other organisms

organelle for the location of photosynthesis

pores in leaves that allow CO2 and O2 out

aqueous internal fluid

form stacks known as grana

green pigment in thylakoid membranes

light + 6CO2 + 6H20 → C6H1206 + 6O2

reaction involving complete or partial transfer of one or more electrons from reactant to another

the electrons are transferred with H+ (from split H20) to CO2 reducing it to sugar

blue green pigment involved in the light reactions

yellow green accessory pigment

yellow orange pigment that broadens the spectrum of color and drives photosynthesis

occurs in the thylakoid membrane in the photo systems and converts solar energy into chemical energy

two forms: NADPH and ATP

provides a source of electrons and protons (H+), releases O2 as a bi-product

chlorophyll

Electrons get excited, go down a transport chain, turn in NADP+

Electrons go to ground state, transferred to a primary acceptor and becomes P680, H20 is split, goes to PSI via electrin transport chain
