| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| compound used by cells to store and release energy | adenosine triphosphate |
| organism that obtains food by consuming other living things | heterotroph |
| organisms that make their own food | autotroph |
| the process by whick autotrophs use the energy of sunlight to produce high energy carbohydrates sugars and starches that can be used as food | photosynthesis |
| plants gather the sun's energy wiht light absorbing molecules | pigments |
| the plants' principal pigment | chlorophyll |
| chloroplasts contain an abundance of saclike photosynthetic membranes | thylakoids |
| the fluid portion of the chloroploast, outside of the thylakoids | stroma |
| carrier molecule that transfers high energy electrons from chlorophyll to other moleculses | NADP+ |

| carrier molecule that transfers high energy electrons from chlorophyll to other moleculses | NADP+ |
| set of reactions in photosynthesis that use energy from light to produce ATP and NADPH | light dependent reactions |
| set of reactions in photosynthesis that do not require light | light independent reactions |
| Thylakoids contain clusters of chlorophll and proteins known as | photosystems |
| is a series of electron carrier proteins that shuttle high energy electrons during ATP generating reactions | electron transport chain |
| the thylakoid membrane contains a protein called | ATP synthase |
| during the lightindependent reactions, commonly referred to as the | calvin cycle |
