1.

What is the conversion of solar energy into chemical energy performed by autotrophs?

Photosynthesis

2.

Where does photosynthesis mostly occur?

Mesophyll (tissue in the interior of the leaf)

3.

The green pigment located within chloroplasts is called what?

Chlorophyll

4.

CO2 enters a leaf and O2 exits through pores called __________.

Stomata

5.

What is the fluid within the chloroplasts?

Stroma

6.

A system of interconnected membranes that divide the stroma from the thylakoid space

Thylakoid membrane

7.

Where is chlorophyll located?

Thylakoid membranes

8.

Thylakoid membranes that are stacked together are called what?

Grana

9.

What are the 2 sets of reactions that make up photosynthesis?

Light reactions and the Calvin Cycle

10.

Light is absorbed by chlorophyll and drives the transfer of electrons and hydrogen from water to ______.

NADP+

11.

What are the light harvesting units of the thylakoid membrane called?

photosystems

12.

What is released when water splits in a light reaction?

Oxygen

13.

Where does the Calvin Cycle occur?

Stroma of the chloroplasts

14.

The initial incorporation of carbon into organic compounds is called ___________________.

Carbon fixation

15.

The Calvin Cycle uses ATP and NADPH to produce what?

Sugar

16.

What are the three phases of the Calvin Cycle?

1. Carbon fixation
2. Reduction
3. Regeneration of RuBP

17.

For every _____ molecules of CO2 that enter the Calvin Cycle, the net output is one molecule of G3P.

3
