Cards

Term
Photosynthetic organs of the plant; store water/food
Definition
Leaves; store water/food
Term
Contained in the epidermis of the leaf; allow exchange of gases between the environment and the internal tissues of the leaf; more on the lower surface than the upper surface.
Definition
stomata
Term
surround stomata; regulate size of the stoma opening; contain chloroplasts while other cells of epidermis do not.
Definition
guard cells
Term
thin, flat part of the leaf
Definition
blade
Term
attach leaves to stem through this
Definition
stalk or petiole
Term
outer surface of leaf; thin, waxy
Definition
cuticle
Term
one cell thick; tightly packed together; absorbs water and nutrients; regulates gas exchange; protects against water loss (hint: shape)
Definition
epidermis
Term
photosynthetic tissue; area between upper and lower epidermis; there are two kinds of this
Definition
mesophyl.
Term
near upper surface of leaf; full of chloroplasts; tightly packed together; oriented to obtain maximum amount of light
Definition
palisades cells - part of the mesophyl
Term
lower part of mesophyl; loosely packed and moist cells that contian fewer chloroplasts and many air spaces which connet through the stomaata to the outside.
Definition
spongey layer of the mesophyl
Term
veins of leaf (xylem -> water, phloem -> nutrients) and supporting fibers make up this.
Definition
vascular bundles
Term
path of the veins.
Definition
conducting tissues lead from xylem and phloem of the stem up through the petiole (it connects leaves to stem)into the blade. then the veins branch through the mesophyl into finer and finer vessels. the veins branch in a specific pattern, dependin gon whether the plan is a monocot or dicot.
Term
veins are parallel (parallel venation)
Definition
monocot
Term
veins form a network (net nevation)
Definition
dicot
Term
Takes place in the stroma
Definition
Calvin's Cycle
Term
5 carbon sugar which the Calvin's Cycle starts out with
Definition
RuBP
Term
3-PGA
Definition
Second molecule made in Calvin's Cycle (6 of them are made)
Term
Products from light reactions
Definition
Used to boost the energy in the Calvin Cycle
Term
High energy phosphates are added to 3 PGA molecules and 6 ATPs are added and contribute a phosphate
Definition
6 ADPs are released
Term
6 molecules of NADPH are oxidized. They reduce the carbon compound creating 6 3GP molecules. 1 G3P molecule leaves, the other 5 G3Ps are reshuffled to regenerate original RuBP
Definition
final product of calvin's cycle (sugar)
Term
Uses energy of light reactions to reduce 3 molecules of carbon dioxide and produce one molecule of G3P. Three more carbon dioxide molecules are fixed to form G3P in same complicated way. To make each G3P, the calvin's cycle consumes 9 ATP and 6 NADPH molecules
Definition
Term
2 G3Ps
Definition
make glucose
Term
glucose
Definition
stores the energy which chlorophyl originally captured from the sun
Term
POOOOOP
Definition
RuBp (5 carbons) -> starts out with in calvin cycle
Term
OOOP
Definition
PGA (there are 6 of these 3 carbon molecules)
Term
POOOP
Definition
TBA
Term
OOP after the POOOP
final product
Definition
G3P (6 of them)-> final product. two of these makes glucose
Term
RUBISCO
Definition
enzyme used to catalyze carbon fixation (found in stroma of chloroplast where calvin's cycle takes place)
Term
takes place in thylakoid membrane
Definition
light reaction
Term
water loss
Definition
transpiration
Term
light reactions take place during day
Definition
produce ATP and NADPH
Term
dark reactions take place at night
Definition
stomata opens and doens't have to worry about water loss
Term
Total ATPS needed to make glucose
Definition
18 ATPS. 6 +3 = 9 * 2 = 18 TOTAL ATPS
Term
Calvin's cycle can take place in the dark as long as NADPH and ATP are present
Definition
NADPH and ATP however get used up and can only be regenerated in light dependant reaction
Term
PGAL from respiration is...
Definition
G3P in photosynthesis. final product and one out of six total 3 carbon compound leaves... results in 5 PGAL left
Term
3 CO2 and 9 ATP and 6 NAPH
Definition
calvin's cycle u sage
Term
similarity with kreb's cycle
Definition
an ongoing process; contains similar substances in both cycles (PGAL AND G3P)
Term
differences in calvn and kreb's cycle
Definition
calvin: ATP and NADPH is used to put in energy. krebs: ATP, NADH, FADH2 is produced. calvin's cycle makes sugar and kreb's cycle breaks down sugar
Term
chromatography
Definition
separates compounds based on solubility
Term
light reactions
Definition
concerts sunlight into chemical energy by synthesizing ATP. oxygen is released as a byproduct. NADPH produced. (NADP = final electron acceptor)
Term
light independant reaction
Definition
ATP and NADPh are used to synthesize sugar. (CO2 fixation) -> carbon from there makes C2H1206, organic compound.
