| 794800601 | photons | Particles of light that store energy | |
| 794800602 | visible light | What is the name given to the type of light that our eyes absorb? | |
| 794800603 | red and blue | main colors of light that most plant leaves absorb | |
| 794800604 | Takes in every color except for green which is reflects back | Why do plant leaves appear green? | |
| 794800605 | pigments | Any substance or molecule that has the ability to absorb light | |
| 794800606 | cholorophyll a and b | what are the names of the two types of chlorophyll | |
| 794800607 | blue-green | chlorophyll a is what colors | |
| 794800608 | yellow-green | chlorophyll b is what colors | |
| 794800609 | a | which chlorophyll (a or b) is dominant | |
| 794800610 | electrons are absorbed and become excited | what happens when atoms in a pigment absorb light | |
| 794800611 | inside photosystems, which are inside thylakoids, which are inside chloroplasts | where are chlorophyll molescules specifically found | |
| 794800612 | within chloroplasts: stroma, thylakoid membrane, and inside the thylakoid | where does photosynthesis take place | |
| 794800613 | 6 CO2 + 6 H2O + light energy ---> C6H12O6 + 6 O2 | write the chemical formula for the photosynthesis reaction | |
| 794800614 | light reactions and calvin cycle | name the two main stages of photosynthesis | |
| 794800615 | thylakoid membrane, inside the thylakoid and in the stroma | where do light reactions take place | |
| 794800616 | stroma | where does the calvin cycle take place | |
| 794800617 | sunlight, water | what are the reactants involved in only the light reactions | |
| 794800618 | NADPH, ATP, O2 | what are the products resulting from only the light reactions | |
| 794800619 | float around and create concentration gradient | when a water molecules splits, what happens to the electrons | |
| 794800620 | attaches to another oxygen | when a water molecules splits, what happens to the oxygen | |
| 794800621 | stomata | what part of the leaf does O2 leave out of | |
| 794800622 | ATP | where does the proton pump get energy to transport H+ protons | |
| 794800623 | into the thylakoid | where does the proton pump take protons | |
| 794800624 | 4 | how many times does an electron get boosted to a higher energy level during the light reactions of photosynthesis | |
| 794800625 | stroma | where is NADPH formed | |
| 794800626 | concentration gradient | where does ATP synthase get the energy to make the bends of an ATP molecule | |
| 794800627 | active transport | transport through hydrogen pump, uses redox reactions | |
| 794800628 | passive transport | water moving into the plant, ATP synthase uses concentration gradient | |
| 794800629 | used as energy | what happens to the ATP and NADPH molecules produced during the light reactions | |
| 794800630 | PgAL, RuBP, and PEP | list three molecules used in the calvin cycle to produce sugars | |
| 794800631 | 2 | how many cycles of the calvin cycle does it take to make one glucose molecule | |
| 794800632 | carbon fixation | anytime CO2 is used to make an organic molecule | |
| 794800633 | greater energy | shorter waves have | |
| 794800634 | lesser energy | longer waves have |
