| organism that obtains energy from the food that it consumes | heterotroph |
| one of the principal chemical compounds that living things use to store and release energy | adenosine phosphate |
| process by which plants and some other organisms use light energy to convert water and carbon dioxide into high energy carbohydrates such sugars and starches. | photosynthesis |

| principal pigment of plants and other photosynthetic organisms | chlorophyll |
| saclike photosynthetic membrane found in chloroplasts | thylakoid |
| region outside the thylakoid membranes in chloroplasts. | stroma |
| one of the carrier molecules that transfer high energy electrons from chlorophyll to other molecules. | NADP+ |
| reactions of photosynthesis that use energy from light produced ATP and NADPH. | light dependent reactions |
