I can identify and label the structures in a leaf cross section diagram.

Heterotrophs: Heterotrophs, like this eagle, feed off of other forms of life. 

Autotrophs:is an organism that produces complex organic compounds from simple inorganic molecules and an external source of energy, such as light or chemical reactions of inorganic compounds.

An organism that obtains carbon from organic compounds but obtains energy from light is called a photoheterotroph, while an organism that obtains carbon from organic compounds but obtains energy from the oxidation of inorganic compounds is termed a chemoheterotroph.

 I can list the products of light reactions that are used by the Calvin cycle.

6 ATP + 9NADPH

Hooks up the Carbon and RUBP

Photorespiration occurs when the CO2 levels inside a leaf become low. This happens on hot dry days when a plant is forced to close its stomata to prevent excess water loss. If the plant continues to attempt to fix CO2 when its stomata are closed, the CO2 will get used up and the O2 ratio in the leaf will increase relative to CO2 concentrations.

 reactants for PS II water + light +  and ADP 

 products for PS II: ATP + O@

CAM plant avoid photorespiration by having another source of CO2 
James Workman: --the four carbon acid that is built up at night when CAM plants keep their stomata open and they don't lose as much water

if a certain wavelength is reflected, that is the color that an object appear

 xylem transports water from roots UP to leaves 
 phloem transports carbs and other nutrients Ja

 I can list and describe the types and function of major plant tissue types.

 I can explain how H+ (protons) exit the thylakoid and what happens as a result.

 protons exit via ATP sythase (synthetase) and that "proton push power" causes the phosphrylation of ADP ==> AT

purple/blue light is in the 300 nm range 
 green/yellow in the 500 nm range 
red/orange is in the 700 nm rang

more energy the shorter the wavelengh 

it is activvely transported by h+ ion(proton) pumping protein 

 plants reflect green light (that's why they look green)  light that is reflected cannot power the light reactions J
 only light that is absorbed (not reflected) can power PSII and PSi  so, whant that means, is the spectrum of light that is absorbed is extrememely similar to the spectrum of light that causes high rate of photosynthesi
