the Calvin cycle
A double-displacement reaction is characterized by the fact that bonds of the reactants are changed.
These are generally referred to as polymerization reactions. They may also be called condensation reactions sometimes.
Molecules or compounds that function to allow a reaction to take place but do NOT take place in the reaction itself are called catalysts. Biological catalysts made of proteins are called enzymes.
When a substance gains an electron or electrons, this is known as "reduction". For every reduction reaction, there is also an oxidation reaction. So, whatever substance "gave" the electrons, underwent oxidation.
light reaction
A reaction releasing energy is called an exergonic reaction, so the opposite of the would be a reaction that needs energy to take place, called an endergonic reaction. These are also known as exothermic and endothermic reactions.
The type of reaction that combines reactants to produce larger products is called synthesis. The opposite process of synthesis is decomposition.
exothermic reactions release energy, like a fire, which releases heat ( also endothermic reactions requires and takes/absorbs energy for its reaction like photosynthesis which requires sunlight)
combustion and single-replacement
DNA synthesis is also known as DNA replication.
yes
This is called the light phase oh photosynthesis as opposed to the dark phase. During the light phase, photons excite enzymes on the thylakoid. Also can be known as Light-Dependent Reactions
