Photosynthesis consumes _____ gas and releases _____ gas.

CO2;O2

The three types of photosynthetic pigments in plants are chlorophyll a, chlorophyll b, and _____.

Carotenoids

During the light reaction, a protein (H+) gradient across the thylakoid membrane is used to make ATP. This process is called...

Cemiosmosis

During the light reactions of photosynthesis, __________ located within the thylakoid membrane absorbs solar energy and energizes electrons.

In the light reactions of photosynthesis, energized electrons move down the ___________, energy is then captured and used later for ATP production.

Electron Transport Chain

Which color of light is absorbed LEAST well by chlorophyll a?

Green

During the light reactions of photosynthesis, the facilitated diffusion of _____ from high to low concentration across the thylakoid membrane provides ATP synthase enzymes with the energy required to produce ATP.
