Tene Photosynthesis Review Worksheet PartA Match the terms below with the correct description Chlorophyll Chloroplast Electromagnetic spectrum Electron transport chain Grana Light-dependent reactions Light-independent reactions Photon Photosynthesis Photosystem Stroma Thylakoid a. Photon: packet of solar energy b. Light-Dependent Reactions: energy-capturing portion of photosynthesis that takes place in thylakoid membranes of chloroplasts and cannot proceed without solar energy, it produces ATP and NADPH c. Chlorophyll: green pigment that absorbs solar energy and is important in photosynthesis d. Stroma: large, central compartment in a chloroplast that is fluid filled and contains enzymes used in photosynthesis e. Chloroplast: membrane-bounded organelle with chlorophyll — containing membranous thylakoids; where photosynthesis takes place £. Thylakoid: Photosynthetic unit where solar energy is absorbed and high-energy electrons are generated; contains a pigment complex and an electron acceptor g. Electron transport chain: Passage of electrons along a series of carrier molecules form a higher to a lower energy level; the energy released is used for the synthesis of ATP. h. Photosynthesis: Process usually occurring within chloroplasts whereby chlorophyll traps solar energy and carbon dioxide is reduced to a carbohydrate, i. Series of photosynthetic reactions in which carbon dioxide is fixed and reduced in the chloroplast. J. Light-independent reactions: Synthesis portion of photosynthesis that takes place in the stroma of chloroplasts and does not directly require solar energy; it uses the products of the light dependant reactions to reduce carbon dioxide to a carbohydrate
