IB Biology Sub-topic C1.3 Definitions

It is the wavelengths of electromagnetic waves an atom can absorb

The process by which proton pumps use the energy of electrons to pump protons from the stroma into the thylakoid space to build a concentration gradient

The process by which chlorophyll reaction centers of photosystems absorb energy from light and their electrons become exited

The process by which water is split into oxygen, protons, and electrons in the thylakoid space by an oxidized photosystem II after photoactivation

The process by which protons travel down the concentration gradient into the stroma via ATP synthase, which phosphorylates ADP into ATP

The production of glucose and oxygen from light, CO₂, and water, within the chloroplast

A spectrum that shows the rate of photosynthesis at different colors of light

A process that can separate xantophyll, carotene, and chlorophyll a and b by solubility
