harvest light energy
What happens if the last phosphate bond on ATP is broken?
it releases energy for cells to use

what is an anabolic reaction?
one that combined simple molecules into more complex molecules
CO2 and H2O are used in photosynthesis to produce...
organic molecules such as the sugar glocuse
What does the noncyclic electron flow generate?
oxygen, ATP, NADPH (energy carrier)
sunlight is stored in packets of energy called...
photons
describe the outer membrane of a chloroplast
smooth
what is the thick fluid inside of a chloroplast called?
stroma
What is the ultimate energy for all life on Earth?
sun
energy from the ----- is stored in the bonds of the sugar ----
sun & glocuse

What is reduction?
the addition or gaining of electrons
why are plants green?
the pigment chlorophyll makes it green
What is stoma?
the pores on the undersides of leaves
What is phosphorylation
the process of making ATP from ADP and a free phosphate group
What is oxidized and reduced during photosynthesis?
water is oxidized and carbon dioxide is reduced
What doe the chlorophyll molecules at the reaction center of photosystem II absorb?
wavelengths of 680nm
Name 3 things released when the last phosphate bond on ATP is broken.

What is ATP synthase?
The enzyme used to make ATP from ADP
During the fall what happens to the amount of chlorophyll being produced by plants?
The green chlorophyll pigments are greatly reduced revealing other pigments
What do leaves turn colors in the fall?
The green chlorophyll pigments are less present bc the temperature and sunlight effect photosynthesis
What is oxidation?
The loss of electrons
