Photosynthesis
Term | Definition |
---|---|
Chlorophyll | Light absorbing pigment in plants |
Calvin Cycle | PSN stage - produces high energy sugars |
Light Dependent Reaction | PSN stage - produces ATP, NADPH, and oxygen |
Autotroph | Organism that produces energy (food) |
Heterotroph | Organism that consumes energy (food) |
ATP | Energy storing molecule |
Photosynthesis | Process - Uses sunlight to create glucose and oxygen |
Chloroplast | PSN location |
Thylakoid Membrane | Location of the light dependent reaction |
Stroma | Location of the Calvin cycle, Light Independent Reaction |
Carbon Dioxide | Molecule used to produce glucose in PSN |
Sunlight | PSN energy source, sustains all life |
Green | Color reflected/not absorbed by plants |
NADPH | Electron Carrier of PSN |
Water | Molecule that is split during light dependent reaction |
