Ch# 8, Photosynthesis - vocab/study guide

____ is the enzyme that makes ATP.

• Electron Transport Chain

  (ETC)

• ATP Synthase

• Adenosine Triphosphate (ATP)

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.

____ molecule the cell uses to store and release energy.

• Adenosine Triphosphate (ATP)

• Stroma

• ATP Synthase

Answer explanation

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

ATP Synthase is the enzyme that makes ATP.

____ an organism that is able to capture energy from sunlight or chemicals and use it to produce its own food from inorganic compounds; also called a producer.

• Autotroph

• Photosystem

• Heterotroph

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.

____: light independent reactions of photosynthesis in which energy from ATP and NADPH is used to build high-energy compounds such as sugar, the 2nd part of photosynthesis.

• Photosystems

• Calvin Cycle

• Light Dependent Reaction

Answer explanation

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

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

Chlorophyll is____

• light-absorbing molecule used by plants to gather the sun's energy.

• a collection of pigments that absorbs sunlight found in thylakoids.

• a green pigment of plants and other photosynthetic organisms.

____ is a series of election carrier proteins that pass high-energy electrons during ATP-generating reactions (from PSII to PSI or PSI to NADP+).

• Photosynthesis

• Electron Transport Chain (ETC)

• Stroma

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.

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

• Heterotroph

• Thylakoid

• ATP Synthase

Answer explanation

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

APT Synthase are the enzymes that make ATP.

What is a Light Dependent Reaction?

• the first process of photosynthesis that captures light energy, to produce ATP and NADPH.

• the second process of photosynthesis.

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

Light Independent Reaction in another name for Calvin Cycle.

• True

• False

NADP+ is the molecule that collects all the ______at the end of Photosystem I.

• Protons

• Neutrons

• Electrons
