True or false: Photosystem II is the only known protein complex that can oxidize water resulting in the release of O2.

True

During photosynthesis in green plants, what molecule is oxidized?

Water

The ______ scheme describes the energy transitions of electrons as they move through the ______ reactions.

Z; light

When light strikes an object, the light may pass through the object, have its direction changed by the object (reflected), or be ____________ by the object.

absorbed

Organisms that are able to make organic molecules from inorganic sources, such as carbon dioxide and water, are called ________

autotrophs

A key difference between linear electron flow and cyclic electron flow is that in cyclic electron flow, electrons are ultimately transferred:

back to PSI

Light is a type of ______ radiation because it consists of energy in the form of electric and magnetic fields.

electromagnetic

When an electron absorbs energy, it becomes _________

excited

The production of glucose from carbon dioxide and water is an _________ reaction that releases a large amount of free energy.

exergonic

All photons contain the same amount of energy.

false

Electrons in an excited state can release energy as __________or __________ or be transferred to another molecule.

heat light

According to the Z-scheme, electrons:

increase and decrease their energy as they move through the light reactions

Autotrophs sustain themselves by producing organic molecules from:

inorganic molecules

Every photon contains a specific amount of ________

light energy

Photosynthesis is divided into two stages: the _______ reactions and the __________ cycle.

light reactions calvin cycle

In the light reactions, roughly equal amounts of ATP and NADPH are made. However, the Calvin cycle requires

more ATP than NADPH

During photosynthesis, NADPH is synthesized by:

photosystem I

During linear electron flow, the movement of electrons occurs from water to

photosystem II, then to photosystem I, and ultimately are transferred to NADP+.

The reactions of the Calvin cycle occur in the:

stroma

Photosystems I and II are located in:

the thylakoid membrane

Which of the following are components of both PSI and PSII?

-A reaction center -A light harvesting complex

What are the three phases of the Calvin cycle?

-Carbon fixation -Reduction and carbohydrate production -Regeneration of ribulose bisphosphate

How does photosynthesis benefit organisms that are not plants?

-It produces organic molecules that other organisms use as food. -It produces oxygen that can be used for aerobic respiration.

What three events can happen after an electron absorbs energy and becomes excited?

-The excited electron may be transferred to another molecule. -Energy may be released as light. -Energy may be released as heat.

Arrange the following molecules according to the order of electron flow during photosynthesis. Begin at the TOP with the location where electrons are first excited in noncyclic electron flow. Instructions

1. P80 2. Cytochrome complex 3. Plastocyanin 4. P700 5. NADP+

What is the main product of the Calvin cycle?

Glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate
