Term
Cyclic series of reactions that build sugar molecules from CO2 and the products of light reactions
Definition
Calvin Cycle
Term
NADPH is temporarily stored & then shuttled into Calvin Cycle where it is used to make sugar
Definition
What happens to NAPH after it is reduced by H+ to NADPH?
Term
C4 plants
Definition
Can shut their stomata when weather is hot and dry to conserve water but can still use photosynthesis to turn CO2 into a four-carbon compound
Term
In hot climates, stomatas close up to reduce water loss; oxygen builds up as a result. Rubisco adds oxygen instead of CO2 into RuBP & produces a 2 carbon compound
Definition
How photorespiration occurs
Term
Gases in the atmosphere such as CO2 reflect heat back to Earth, keeping the planet warm
Definition
Greenhouse Effect
Term
Between PS2 and PS1
Definition
Where ETC can be found
Term
It can easily be used to make glucose and other organic molecules
Definition
The importance of G3P
Term
ATP synthase
Definition
Couples the flow of H+ to the phosphorylation of ADP
