| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| ATP | energy molecule of all cells |
| mitochondria | cell part where this energy molecule is stored |
| phosphate bonds | where energy is stored in the energy molecule |
| breaks phosphate bonds | how stored energy is released from this molecule |
| light dependent reaction | phase of photosynthesis in which light energy is trapped |
| chlorophyll | plant substance that actually traps the sunlight |
| chemical reactions | where photosynthesis takes place in the cell |
| glucose | food that light energy is converted into during photosynthesis |
| photolysis | process of splitting water |
| released to the atmosphere | what happens when a water molecule is split |
| carried to the Calvin cycle | when water is split, this is what happens to it |
| light independent reaction | the second phase of photosynthesis is called |
| CO2 | material from the atmosphere which is used to make sugar in the light independent reaction |
| hydrogen | brought to the Calvin cycle and goes into making the sugar |
| starch | a complex form in which some plants make food |
| chemical reactions | one reason cells need energy |
| NADP | serves as a carrier to transport certain elements during photosynthesis |
