Definition
| Enzyme complex that functions in the production of ATP |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
| Organism that can capture energy and synthesize organic molecules from inorganic nutrients |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
| Plant that fixes carbon dioxide via the Calvin cycle; the first stable product of C3 photosynthesis is a 3-carbon compound |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
| Plant that fixes carbon dioxide to produce a C4 molecule that releases carbon dioxide to the Calvin cycle |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
| Pathway of photosynthesis that converts carbon dioxide to carbohydrate |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
| Alternative pathway for photosynthesis in which the components are seperated by time, carbon dioxide is fixed into a 4-carbon molecule at night |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
| Photosynthetic reaction in which carbon dioxide is attatched to an organic compound |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
| Yellow or orange pigment that serves as an accessory to chlorophyll in photosynthesis |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
| Green pigment that captures solar energy during photosynthesis |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
| Portion of the light reaction that involves onlt photosystem I and generates ATP |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
| Organism that cannot synthesize organic molecules from inorganice nutrients and therefore must take in organic nutrients |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
| Portion of photosynthesis that captures solar energy and takes place in the thylakoid membranes |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
| Coenzyme of oxidation-reduction that accepts electrons and hydrogen ions to become NADH + H+. During photosynthesis NADH participates in the reduction of carbon dioxide to glucose |
|
|
Term
| Noncyclic electron pathway |
|
Definition
| Portion of the light-dependent reaction of photosynthesis that involves both photosystem I and photosystem II. It generates both ATP and NADPH |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
| Process by which plants and algae make their own food using the energy of the sun |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
| Cluster of light-absorbing pigment molecules within thylakoid membranes |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
| The starting material of the Calvin cycle (ribulose-1, 5-bisphosphate) |
|
|
Term
|
