Why is the Calvin cycle also known as C3 photosynthesis?
Because the first molecule in the cycle has 3 carbon atoms.
avoid water loss by closing their stomata during the day and opening them at night
CAM
How do CAM plants avoid water loss?

light
The process in which electrons from water move through PSII and PSI and ultimately to NADPH is also known as___photophosphorylation.
noncyclic
In chloroplasts, electrons ejected from the photosystems do not return to them, which is known as
noncyclic photophosphorylation.
Anoxygenic bacteria have how many photosystems?
one
In chloroplasts, several dozen of these kinds of molecules help comprise a light harvesting complex:
pigments
Recent studies with the atomic force microscope have shown that PSI and the ATP synthase are not randomly distributed in thylakoid membranes, rather, they seem concentrated
primarily in the connections between grana (the stroma lamellae).
The range and efficiency of photons that a pigment molecule is capable of absorbing constitute its characteristic absorption
