concepts and vocab to put on flash cards

Ch Photosynthesis Photosynthesis converts light energy to the chemical energy of food: Autotrophs vs. Heterotrophs, producers , chloroplast, photo-autotroph, (plant, algae, photosynthetic protists, cyanobacteria, purple sulfur bacteria) mesophyll, stomata, stroma, thylakoid, thylakoid space, chlorophyll, photolysis, ETC, light reaction, reduction- oxidation, light reaction, Calvin cycle, NAP+, NADPH, photophosphyrolation, carbon fixation, Light Reactions convert solar energy to the chemical of ATP and NADPH: electromagnetic spectrum, visible light, photons, spectrophotometer, absorption spectrum, chlorophyll A, chlorophyll B, action spectrum, Engelmann's experiment, porphyrin ring, carotenoids Excitiation by light, ground state, excited state, PhotoSystem equals a reaction center complex, associated with light harvesting complexes: primary electronic acceptor, photosystem II (P680), photosystem I, (P700), linear electron flow, chemiosmosis The Calvin cycle uses the chemical energy of ATP and NADPH to reduce carbon dioxide to sugar: anabolic, G3P, carbon fixation, rubisco, reduction, G3P output, regeneration of carbon dioxide acceptor ( RuBP) Evolution of alternative mechanism of carbon fixation, in hot arid climates: C3 plants, photorespiration, C4 plants, CAM plants Making connections to Photosynthesis and Cellular Respiration to movement across the cell membrane and flow of genetic information
