why do plants need oxygen? - CORRECT ANSWER - plants rely on oxygen for aerobic
respiration (ATP); except CO2 reduction
2 steps for photosynthesis - CORRECT ANSWER - light dependent reactions/calvin cycle
light dependent reactions formula - CORRECT ANSWER - light + ADP + NADP+ + H2O
--> ATP + NADPH + O2
3 parts of light dependent reactions - CORRECT ANSWER - light harvest system,
electron transport, and photophosphorylaton
where does light dependent reactions occur? - CORRECT ANSWER - thylakoids

PS II - CORRECT ANSWER - P680
PS I - CORRECT ANSWER - P700
, electron flow in light dependent reactions - CORRECT ANSWER - water --> PSII --> PS
I --> NADP+
when does hills reaction occur? - CORRECT ANSWER - during LDR in electron
transport
hills reaction formula - CORRECT ANSWER - 2H2O --> O2 + 4H+
what is the purpose of hills reaction? - CORRECT ANSWER - to catalyze oxidation of
water for energy
photophosphorylation - CORRECT ANSWER - ADP + Pi --> ATP
calvin cycle formula - CORRECT ANSWER - CO2 + ATP + NADPH --> C6H12O6
(G3P) + ADP + NADP
where does the calvin cycle occur? - CORRECT ANSWER - stoma
3 parts of the calvin cycle - CORRECT ANSWER - CO2 fixation, CO2 reduction,
regeneration of RuBP
CO2 fixation - CORRECT ANSWER - use CO2/catalyzed by rubisco
rubisco - CORRECT ANSWER - most abundant protein; 8 L-units/8 S-units
CO2 reduction - CORRECT ANSWER - ATP/NADPH consumed to form G3P
regeneration of RuBP - CORRECT ANSWER - G3P is used to regenerate RuBP
