A photosynthetic complex containing chlorophyll and initiates the initial electron transfer reactions of photophosphorylation
A specialized cell type in a multicellular organism that is sensitive to light
A cluster of several membrane proteins that function in chemiosmosis with adjacent electrontransport chains, using the energy of a hydrogen ion concentration gradient to make ATP
An enzyme vital in CAM and C4 plants during photosynthesis
the light-requiring part of photosynthesis plants, in which an electron donor is required, and oxygen is produced as a waste product. It consists of two photoreactions, resulting in the synthesis of ATP and NADPH
The reaction-center complex contains a pair of special chlorophyll a molecules and a molecule called the__________ which is capable of accepting electrons and becoming reduced
The absorption and the immediate re-emission of light or photon, which has longer wavelength when re-emitted than that of what was previously absorbed
microscopic pores surrounded by guard cells in the epidermis of a leaf. When these are open, CO2 enters a leaf, and H2O and O2 exit. A plant conserves water when they are closed
an indicator of which wavelength of light can be used by a plant to allow photosynthesis
A flattened membranous sac inside a chloroplast containing chlorophyll and the molecular complexes of the light reactions of photosynthesis
The nonpolar reactant of photosynthesis
The scientist who proved oxygen comes from H2O not CO2
A fixed quantity of light energy. The shorter the wavelength of light, the greater the energy
The product of photosynthesis serving as a waste product to the plant
as H+ accumulate inside the thylakoid during light reactions this occurs
Nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate, an electron acceptor that temporarily stores energized electrons produced during the light reactions
