Its Science
| Term | Definition |
|---|---|
| adenosine triphosphate | Adenosine triphosphate (ATP) is an organic compound that provides energy to drive many processes in living cells. |
| autotroph | an organism that is able to form nutritional organic substances from simple inorganic substances such as carbon dioxide. |
| photosynthesis | the process by which green plants and some other organisms use sunlight to synthesize foods from carbon dioxide and water. |
| heterotroph | an organism deriving its nutritional requirements from complex organic substances. |
| pigment | the natural coloring matter of animal or plant tissue. |
| light dependent | Light-dependent reactions can be defined as the first major set of processes in photosynthesis, in which light energy is converted in to chemical energy. |
| chlorophyll | Chlorophyll is any of several related green pigments found in cyanobacteria and in the chloroplasts of algae and plants. |
| reactions | an action performed or a feeling experienced in response to a situation or event |
| thylakoid | Thylakoids are membrane-bound compartments inside chloroplasts and cyanobacteria |
| light independent | The Calvin cycle, light-independent reactions, bio synthetic phase, dark reactions, or photosynthetic carbon reduction |
| heterotroph | an organism deriving its nutritional requirements from complex organic substances |
| stroma | Stroma is the part of a tissue or organ with a structural or connective role |
| NADPH+ | NADPH is a cofactor, used to donate electrons and a hydrogens to reactions catalyzed by some enzymes |
| photosystem | Photosystems are functional and structural units of protein complexes involved in photosynthesis |
| ATP synthase | ATP synthase is a protein that catalyzes the formation of the energy storage molecule adenosine triphosphate (ATP) using adenosine diphosphate (ADP) and inorganic phosphate |
| electron transport train | The electron transport chain is a mitochondrial pathway in which electrons move across a redox span |
| Calvin cycle | The Calvin cycle, light-independent reactions, bio synthetic phase, dark reactions, or photosynthetic carbon reduction cycle of photosynthesis is a series of chemical reactions that convert carbon dioxide and hydrogen-carrier compounds into glucose |
