| Non-cyclic photosynthesis | Uses both Photo systems and produces NADPH and ATP and releases O2 |
| Cyclic Photosynthesis | When electrons only use Photo II and there is no production of NADPH, no release of O2 and production of ATP. In the absence of H2O |
| Grana | Stacks of thalykoids in the chloroplast of plants |
| CF1 | Similar to ATPase, allows H+ to move throughthylakoid membrane to produce ATP |
| Primary e- acceptor | Catches electrons 1st in the light rxn of photo, AKA Photo II |
| Chlorophyll | A green pigment located within the chloroplasts of plants, can participate directly in the light rxns, which convert solar nrg to chemical nrg |
| Rubisco | Enzyme that is able to add CO2 to a 5C, catalyzes the first step in the Calvin Cycle |
| Carotenoid | red, yellow, orange or purple pigment found as an accessory pigment in plants |
| Photon | A quantum unit of light nrg |
| NADPH | An nrg storage molecule, gains electronsin the light dependant rxns of photo |
| Stroma | The space and liquid surrounding the thylakoids in a chloroplast |
| Thylakoid | Flat, circular sacs that make up th egrana in plants , all the chlorophyll of a photosynthetic organism is found here |
| Callvin Cycle | The part of photo process where CO2 is converted into 3-C compoundsm which can then be turned into 6-C sugars |
| Dark Reactions | A cyclical series of carbon-fixing sugar-producing rxns in the chloroplast, light is not needed, rxn uses CO2 and the nrg produced in light rxn |
| Light Reaction | a series of rxns in which light nrg is converted to chemical nrg w/the help of chlorophyll, ATP & H+ions and electrons are created as H2O molecules are split |
| Photosystem | Functional set of light absorbing pigments and a rxn center in photo organisms |
| Photolysis | The process in photo where H2O is split into 2Hand O |
| Stomata | A pore in the epidermis of a leaf providing access for gaseous echange between tissues and the atmposphere |
| Mesophyll | Photosynthetic tissue of a green plant |
| Chloroplast | An organelle in plants responsible for nrg production via photo |
| Photosynthesis | process through which light nrg, H2O, and CO2 are converted to carbohydrate and O2 in the presence of chlorophyll |
