Photosynthesis Quiz Chapter 5

The process by which plants make food using sunlight, CO2, and water.

A green pigment in plants that absorbs sunlight for photosynthesis.

The part of photosynthesis that requires light to produce energy in the form of ATP.

The phase of photosynthesis that does not require light, where glucose is produced, occurs in the stroma.

The main reactants are carbon dioxide, water, and sunlight.

Carbon dioxide is sourced from the atmosphere; absorbed through stomata.

Light color and CO2 levels in greenhouses enhance photosynthesis efficiency.

Produces food, oxygen, and removes CO2 from the air, contributing to fossil fuel formation.

A pathway in photosynthesis where light energy is absorbed, energizing electrons for ATP and NADPH production.

A molecule that carries energy for cellular processes and is generated during the light stage of photosynthesis.

The process of splitting water using light energy to produce electrons, protons, and oxygen during photosynthesis.

The part of photosynthesis that converts light energy into chemical energy (ATP and NADPH).

A carrier molecule that provides electrons and protons for the dark reactions in photosynthesis.

The phase of photosynthesis that uses ATP and NADPH to convert carbon dioxide into glucose.

The process where carbon dioxide combines with electrons and protons to form glucose during the dark stage.

A series of proteins that transfer high-energy electrons, losing energy to form ATP and water.

The process where chlorophyll pigments absorb various colors except green.

Electrons that gain energy from absorbed light to power reactions.

A series of proteins that transport energized electrons, releasing energy.

A pathway where energized electrons flow and return to the chlorophyll, forming ATP.

The process of adding a phosphate group to ADP using light energy.

Organelles in plant cells where photosynthesis occurs, containing chlorophyll.

The process of converting ADP and phosphate into ATP using energy from electrons.

The brightness of light affecting photosynthesis rate.

An aquatic plant used to observe oxygen bubbles in photosynthesis experiments.

Measured by counting oxygen bubbles produced per minute.

The stage where increasing light does not raise the photosynthesis rate.

A condition that restricts the rate of photosynthesis, like CO2 or temperature.

Added to water to saturate it with carbon dioxide for experiments.

Used to maintain a constant temperature during experiments.

A waiting time for plants to adapt to new light conditions before measuring oxygen output.
