autotrophs organisms that use energy from sunlight or from chemical bonds in inorganic substances to make organic compounds.
photosynthesis the process by which light energy from the sun is converted into chemical energy in the form of organic compounds.
heterotrophs animals and other organisms that must get energy from food instead of directly from sunlight or inorganic substances.
light reactions light energy (absorbed from the sun)is converted to chemical, which is temporarily stored in ATP and the energy carrier molecule NADPH. (they require light to happen)
Calvin Cycle Organic compounds are formed using CO2 and the chemical energy stored in ATP and NADPH.
chloroplasts organelles found in the cells of plants and algae.
thylakoids a system of membranes that are arranged as flattened sacs.
grana layered and connected stacks of thylakoids.
stroma the solution surrounding the grana.
pigments compounds that absorb light.

carotenoids a yellow, orange, or brown plant pigment.
photosystem each cluster of pigment molecules and the proteins that the pigment molecules are embedded in.
primary electron acceptor a molecule in the thylakoid membrane that is the acceptor of the electrons lost from chlorophyll a.
electron transport chain the first of a series of molecules located in the thylakoid membrane.
chemiosmosis the process by which ATP in synthesized.
