Ch# 8, Photosynthesis - vocab/study guide

Front

Enzyme that makes ATP:

Back

ATP Synthase

Answer explanation

Electron Transport Chain (ETC) is a series of electron carrier proteins that pass high-energy electrons during ATP-generating reactions (from PSII to PSI or PSI to NADP+)

Adenosine Triphosphate (ATP), are the molecule cells used to store and release energy.

Front

Molecule used by cells to store and release energy.

Back

Adenosine Triphosphate (ATP)

Answer explanation

Stroma is the liqd/fluid portion of the chloroplast tjat surrounds the thylakoids.

ATP Synthase is the enzyme that makes ATP.

Front

An organism that captures energy from sunlight or chemicals to produce its own food from inorganic compounds; also called a producer.

Back

Autotroph

Answer explanation

Photosystem is a collection of pigments that absorbs sunlight found in thylakoids.

Heterotroph is an organism that obtains energy by eating other organisms; also called a consumer.

Front

Light independent reactions of photosynthesis using ATP and NADPH to build high-energy compounds like sugar.

Back

Calvin Cycle

Answer explanation

Photosystems are a collection of pigments that absorb sunlight found in thylakoids.

"Light Dependent Reaction" is another name for the 'Calvin Cycle.'

Front

Chlorophyll is...

Back

a green pigment of plants and other photosynthetic organisms.

Front

Series of proteins passing high-energy electrons during ATP generation.

Back

Electron Transport Chain (ETC)

Answer explanation

Photosynthesis it the complete process of converting the sun's energy into food (sugar) performed in autotrophs.

Stroma refers to the liquid/fluid portion of the chloroplast that surrounds the thylakoids.

Front

Organism that obtains energy by consuming others.

Back

Heterotroph

Answer explanation

Thylakoid are the photosynthetic membranes found stacked inside of the chloroplasts.

APT Synthase are the enzymes that make ATP.
