1 C6H12O6 + 6O2 → 6CO2 + 6H2O
2 6CO2 + 6H2O → C6H12O6 + 6O2
3 a specific form of chlorophyll used in oxygenic photosynthesis. It absorbs most energy from wavelengths of violet-blue and orange-red light, and it is a poor absorber of green and near-green portions of the spectrum..
4 a form of chlorophyll. it helps in photosynthesis by absorbing light energy. It is more soluble than the other chlorophyll in polar solvents because of its carbonyl group. Its color is green, and it primarily absorbs blue light.
5 an organism deriving its nutritional requirements from complex organic substances.
6 3 CO2 + 6 NADPH + 5 H2O + 9 ATP → glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate G3P + 2 H+ + 6 NADP+ + 9 ADP + 8 Pi Pi = inorganic phosphate
7 an organism that is able to form nutritional organic substances from simple inorganic substances such as carbon dioxide.
8 each of a number of flattened sacs inside a chloroplast, bounded by pigmented membranes on which the light reactions of photosynthesis take place, and arranged in stacks or grana
9 a coenzyme that functions as a universal electron carrier, accepting electrons and hydrogen atoms to form NADPH, or nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate. it is created in anabolic reactions, or reaction that build large molecules from small molecules.
10 it is the reduced form of NADP+; used in anabolic reactions, such as lipid and nucleic acid synthesis, which require this as a reducing agent.
11 are stacks of structures called thylakoids, which are little disks of membrane on which the light-dependent reactions of photosynthesis take place. Stacked into grana, the shape of the thylakoids allow for optimum surface area, maximizing the amount of photosynthesis that can happen. plural for granum
