|
|
Term
|
Definition
| An enzyme that functions in cellular respiration by bringing together ADP adn inorganic phosphate molecules to produce ATP. |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
| Process by which certain groups of organisms capture energy from sunlight and convert this solar energy into chemical energy that is initially stored in a carbohydrate. |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
| Microscopic pores found in great abundance on the underside of leaves, that allow plants to exchange gases witht he atmosphere. Carbon Dioxide moves into plants through the stomata, while oxygen and water vapor move out. |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
| Organelles within plant and algae cells that are the sites of photosynthesis. |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
| Network of chloroplast membranes, active in photosynthesis. |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
| Liquid material of chloroplasts. |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
| Primary pigment active in plant photosynthesis. |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
| An organized complex of molecules within a thylakoid memebrane that, in photosynthesis, collects solar energy and transforms it inot chemical energy. |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
| A pair of special chlorophyll a molecules and associated compounds that first receive the solar energy from photosystem pigments and then transform this solar energy into chemical energy. |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
| C3 cycle, teh set of steps in photosynthesis in which energetic electrons are brought together with carbon dioxide and a sugar to produce an energetic carbohydrate. |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
| Gas being incorporated into an organic molecule. |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
| A process in which the enzyme rubisco reduces carbon fixation in photosynthesis by binding with oxygen instead of with carbon dioxide. |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
| An enzyme that allows organisms to incorporate atmospheric carbon dioxide into their own sugars during the process of photosynthesis. |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
| A form of photosynthesis in which carbon dioxide is first fixed to a four-carbon molecule and then transferred to special cells in which the Calvin cycle is undertaken, bundle-sheath cells. |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
| From of photosynthesis, undertaken by plants in hot, dry climates, in which carbon fixation takes place at night and the Calvin cycle occurs during the day. |
