1. PHOTOSYNTHESISVOCAB REVIEW http://www.visibledreams.net/Web/color/color_3.html

2. Molecules that interact in a chemical reaction that are written on the left side of a chemical equation Protein molecule that speeds upchemical reactions in living things reactants enzyme

3. An organism that CAN’T make its own food and must get its energy from consuming other organisms Set of chemical reactions in which the product of one reaction goes on to be the reactant in the next reaction heterotroph Biochemical pathway

4. Reactions of photosynthesis that use light energy to produce ATP and NADPH Large enzyme in the thylakoid membrane that uses energy from H+ ions to join ADP and a phosphate group to make ATP Light-dependent reactions ATP synthase

5. Light absorbing molecule like chlorophyll that captures energy from the sun Membrane sacs which stack to make grana Pigment thylakoids

6. An organism like a green plant that can make its own food Molecule made of deoxyribose, adenine, and 3 phosphates used by living things to store and release energy AUTOTROPH ATP

7. carotenoids Pigments that are yellow or orange not green Clusters of light collecting proteins found in the thylakoid membrane Space surrounding the thylakoids inside a chloroplast photosystems stroma

8. Process by which plants and some other organisms use sunlight to convert water and carbon dioxide (CO2) into oxygen (O2) and high energy carbohydrates Stack of thylakoid membranes PHOTOSYNTHESIS GRANUM (pl. GRANA)

9. denaturing The change in shape of a protein at extremes of temperature or pH 6 carbon sugar molecule that is the product of photosynthesis and the main fuel burned by cells glucose

10. Reactions of photosynthesis in which energy from ATP and NADPH is used to build high energy sugar molecules Negatively charge particle found circling the nucleus of an atom Calvin cycle electron

11. proton Positively charged particle found in the nucleus of an atom Cell organelle containing thylakoid stacks where photosynthesis happens chloroplast

12. Portion of the radiation spectrum used by plants for photosynthesis VISIBLE LIGHT

13. neutron Particle without an electric charge found in the nucleus of a atom Atoms that have gained or lost electrons so they have an electric charge Movement of molecules from higher concentration to lower concentration until equilibrium is reached IONS diffusion

14. Molecules that are produced during a chemical reaction that are written on the right side of a chemical equation High energy electron carrier which receives electrons and H+ ions when water splits during the light dependent reaction products NADP+

15. Difference in concentration in one place compared to another Group of membrane proteins that transfers electrons between Photosystem II and I during the light-dependent reaction of photosynthesis Concentration gradient ELECTRON TRANSPORT CHAIN

16. Complex carbohydrate (like glycogen, starch, or cellulose) made by joining MANY sugars together Cell organelle containing thylakoid stacks where photosynthesis happens polysaccharide chloroplast
