Photosynthesis - Quiz 2

An energy (or electron) acceptor

• NADPH

• Thylakoid

• Carbon Fixation

• NADP+

Green pigment which absorbs light energy

• Chlorophyll

• Chloroplast

• Photolysis

• Carotenoid

Pigments absorb light energy; electrons become excited and leave the pigment; excited electrons enter an electron transport chain.

• Excited electron

• Dark Reactions

• Light Reactions

• Carbon Fixation

A process in which water is decomposed; electrons and hydrogen are used by the plant; oxygen is released into the atmosphere

• Thylakoid

• Stroma

• Excited Electron

• Photolysis

An energy-(or electron) carrier

• NADP+

• Products of Photosynthesis

• Reactants of Photosynthesis

• Dark Reactions

6 CO2 + 6 H2O + sunlight --> C6H12O6 + 6 O2

• Photosynthesis equation

• Stroma

• Chlorophyll

• Excited Electron

Carbon dioxide, water, sunlight

• Photolysis

• Reactants of Photosynthesis

• Carbon Fixation

• Chloroplast

Electron with an increased energy level

• Products of Photosynthesis

• NADPH

• Stroma

• Excited Electron

Organelle where photosynthesis occurs

• Stroma

• Thylakoid

• Chloroplast

• Electron Transport Chain

Carbon dioxide from the atmosphere combines with an unstable 6 carbon compound

• NADPH

• Dark Reactions

• Light Reactions

• Carbon Fixation
