TERM 1 Autotroph DEFINITION 1 Organism that produces complex organic compounds from simple substances present in it surroundings, generally using energy from light or inorganic chemical compounds. TERM 2 Understanding Light DEFINITION 2 Light consists of energy called photons. Photons travel in waves the energy of a photon is inversely proportional to the length of the wavelength (i.e. the longer the wave length, the less energy the photon has) TERM 3 how do Pigments work? DEFINITION 3 Function to absorb light and they appear colored because they reflect the wave length of light is not absorbed. TERM 4 Chloroplast DEFINITION 4 Site of Photosynthesis TERM 5 Carotenoids DEFINITION 5 Red, oranges, yellows transmit wavelengths of light not absorbed and then transfer those wave lenghts to it TERM 6 Anthocyanins DEFINITION 6 Reds, purples, Give red to a rose, purple to a grape. TERM 7 Which stage is oxygen created? DEFINITION 7 Light Reaction TERM 8 conversion of light energy to chemical energy (ATP) DEFINITION 8 Fuels synthesis of ATP, ATP is used in calvin cycle to fuel synthesis of glucose (sugar) TERM 9 Calvin Cycle DEFINITION 9 Converts atmospheric carbon. dioxide into simple sugars TERM 10 3 stages of aerobic respiration DEFINITION 10 1. glycolysis2. citric acid cycle (Krebs)3. Electron transport chain
