What I Know What’s In

1. C 6. C 11. C 1. The first process is the Light Dependent Process (Light Reactions),
requires the direct energy of light to make energy carrier molecules
2. A 7. A 12. A that are used in the second process.

3. D 8.A 13. C 2. Visible light spectrum, we see different wavelengths of light as

different colors because they are associated to different

wavelength, which activates different cells in the retina. Wavelength
5. C 10. B 15.A with most energy is violet while red has the least.

Independent activity 1 3. A coloring matter that can be extracted from a plant or animal : a
natural pigment.
1. Outer membrane
4. Chlorophyll absorbs wavelengths from either end of the visible
2. Inner membrane spectrum (blue and red), but not green. Because green is reflected
or transmitted, chlorophyll appears green. Chloroplasts contain the

chlorophyll.
4. Stroma
5. Carotenoids absorb light in the blue-green and violet region and
5. Thylakoids reflect the longer yellow, red, and orange wavelengths.

Independent assessment 1
There are five main types of chlorophylls: chlorophylls a, b, c and d,
1. False plus a related molecule found in prokaryotes called
bacteriochlorophyll. In plants, chlorophyll a and chlorophyll b are the
2. True main photosynthetic pigments. Chlorophyll molecules absorb blue and
3. True red wavelengths, as shown by the peaks in the absorption spectra
above. Structurally, chlorophyll molecules include a hydrophobic
4. True ("water-fearing") tail that inserts into the thylakoid membrane and a
porphyrin ring head (a circular group of atoms surrounding a
5. True
magnesium ion) that absorbs light
