NGSS.HS-LS1-5

series of electron carrier proteins that shuttle high-energy electrons during ATP-generating reactions

• electron transport chain
• photosystem
• ATP synthase
• Calvin cycle

cluster of proteins that span the cell membrane and allow hydrogen ions (H+/Protons) to pass through it

• ATP synthase
• photosystem
• electron transport chain
• Calvin cycle

What does ATP synthase do?

• Create ATP in chemiosmosis.
• Break down ATP in chemiosmosis.
• Break down NADPH. 
• Create NADPH.

light independent reactions of photosynthesis in which energy from ATP and NADPH is used to build high-energy compounds such as sugar

• Calvin cycle
• photosystem
• electron transport chain
• ATP synthase

What factor(s) do not affect photosythesis?

• Temperature
• Light
• Water/CO2
• none of the above

plant wise - is below freezing temperatures similar as a desert?

• yes
• no

Can too much light intensity damage a plant?

• yes
• no

Plants that have adapted to extremely bright and dry conditions:

• C1 and C4
• C2 an CAM
• C1 and C2
• C4 and CAM

NGSS.HS-LS4-4

Pathway, which requires extra energy; enables photosynthesis to keep working under intense light and high temperatures by first forming a compound containing 4 carbons (corn, sugarcane, and sorghum)

• C1
• C3
• C4
• CAM
