Adenosine Triphosphate

Adenosine Triphosphate (ATP), an energy-bearing molecule found in all living cells.

An organism that cannot synthesize its own food and is dependent on complex organic substances for nutrition.

A organism capable of making nutritive organic molecules from inorganic sources via photosynthesis (involving light energy) or chemosynthesis (involving chemical energy).

The synthesis of complex organic material using carbon dioxide, water, inorganic salts, and light energy (from sunlight) captured by light-absorbing pigments, such as chlorophyll and other accessory pigments.

Any material from which a dye, a paint, or the like, may be prepared; particularly, the refined and purified colouring matter ready for mixing with an appropriate vehicle

The green pigment found in the chloroplasts of higher plants and in cells of photosynthetic microorganisms (e.g. photosynthetic bacteria), which is primarily involved in absorbing light energy for photosynthesis.

The spongy, colorless matrix of a cell that functionally supports the cell.

light-dependent reactions

the first stage of photosynthesis, the process by which plants capture and store energy from sunlight.

light-independent reactions

he series of biochemical reactions in photosynthesis that do not require light to proceed, and ultimately produce organic molecules from carbon dioxide.

Electron transport chain

An electron transport chain (ETC) couples a reaction between an electron donor (such as NADH) and an electron acceptor (such as O2) to the transfer of H+ ions across a membrane, through a set of mediating biochemical reactions.

an important enzyme that provides energy for the cell to use through the synthesis of adenosine triphosphate

a metabolic pathway found in the stroma of the chloroplast in which carbon enters in the form of CO2 and leaves in the form of sugar.
