Photosynthesis
| Term | Definition |
|---|---|
| Photosynthesis | The process that plants go through to make glucose and light energy is converted into chemical energy |
| ATP | An energy source made from ADP+P that provides energy to the cell |
| Stroma | A sticky, syrupy substance that surrounds the grana inside a chloroplast organelle |
| Calvin Cycle | The second stage of photosynthesis in which glucose is actually created by carbon from CO2 being made into glucose |
| Thermodynamics | A branch of science that deals with the relations between heat and other forms of energy |
| Thylakoid Membrane | A tiny oval shaped organelle inside a chloroplast |
| Granum | A stack of thylakoid membranes |
| NADPH | An energy source that helps drive the Calvin Cycle, and an electron carrier in photosynthesis |
| Metabolism | The chemical processes that occur within a living organism in order to maintain life |
| Chlorophyll | Pigments in plant cells that make the plant appear green, or light absorbing molecules |
| Light Reaction | The point in photosynthesis when energy is absorbed in the form of light and converted into ATP |
| Chemiosmosis | The movement of ions across a selectively permeable membrane down their electrochemical gradient |
| Chemical equation | The equation for glucose is c6 h12 o6, also the main product of the Calvin Cycle |
| Autotroph | Any organism that is able to form nutritional organic substances from simple inorganic substances such as carbon dioxide |
| Heterotroph | An organism that derives its nutritional requirements from more complex organic substances |
| Glucose | The sugar that plants produce at the end of photosynthesis (c6 h12 o6) |
| Catabolic | The breakdown of complex molecules in living organisms to form simpler ones together with the release of energy |
| Anabolic | The synthesis of complex molecules in complex organisms from simpler ones with the storage of energy |
| Chemoautotroph | An organism, typically a bacterium that derives energy from the oxidation of inorganic compounds |
| Energy | The strength and vitality required for sustained mental or physical activity |
| 1st Law of Thermodynamics | Energy cannot be created or destroyed but it can be changed |
| 2nd Law of Thermodynamics | Over time, pressure, density, and temperature even out |
