Energetics

3. Plants, They store C4 in a different cell, to reduce chance of photorespiration
5. The major photosynthetic pigment that reflects green wavelengths.
7. A process in which glucose is broken down to make pyruvate - occurs in the cytosol
9. Carriers: Molecules that store and a energy in the form of “high-energy” or “excited” electrons.
11. Photosynthesis, Stomata only open at night, these plants focus on reducing water loss through methodical use of their stomata
14. A reduction in electrical charge through gain of electrons. Ex. CO2 is reduced to C6H12O6 in photosynthesis
15. Occurs when plants take in more oxygen than carbon dioxide. RuBP is oxygenated by RuBisCO. The product is unable to be used by plants.
16. The region surrounding the thylakoid membrane.
17. II and I, Two photosystems of chlorophyll which enhance each other to create a stronger result--aka enhancement effect
18. Interlinked sacks filled with chlorophyll.
19. The fluid-filled interior compartment inside the thylakoid membrane.

1. A process in which glucose is broken down to make pyruvate and occurs in the cytosol
2. Membrane, A highly folded membrane where photosynthetic electron transport takes place.
3. An organelle that converts energy of sunlight into chemical energy by synthesizing simple sugars.
4. The biochemical process by which organisms form carbohydrates from carbon dioxide using sunlight. Oxygen is released as a waste product.
6. Reactions, Chemical reactions that convert CO2 into other compounds into C6H12O6. They occur in the stroma, and use the energy from ATP and NADPH
8. Carriers, Molecules that store energy as “excited” electrons.
10. A pathway for electrons during the Calvin Cycle that increases production of ATP
12. Reactions, The reactions in photosynthesis that converts sunlight energy into chemical energy (ATP, NADPH, etc.).
13. A gain in electrical charge through loss of electrons.
