QuestionAnswer
one of the most important compounds that cells use to store and release energy Adenosine Triphosphate (ATP)
organisms that obtain food by consuming other living things heterotrophs
organisms that make their own food autotrophs
the process by which autotrophs use the energy of the sunlight to produce high-energy carbohydrates that can be used for food photosynthesis
Light absorbing molecules plant's use to gather the sun's energy Pigments
The plant's principle pigment Chlorophyll
An abundance of saclike photosynthetic membranes Thylakoids
The fluid portion of the chloroplast, outside of the thylakoids. Stroma
Accepts and holds 2 high-energy electrons, along with a hydrogen ion NADP+ (nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate)
They require the direct involvment of light and light-absorbing pigments Light-dependent reactions
ATP and NADPH molecules produced in the light-dependentreactions are used to produce high-energy sugars from the carbon dioxide Light-independent reactions
Clusters of chlorophyll and proteins Thylakoids contain Photosystems
A series of electron carrier proteins that shuttle high-energy electrons during ATP-generating reactions Electron transport chain
A protein the thyakoid membrane contains ATP synthase

Use these flashcards to help memorize information. Look at the large card and try to recall what is on the other side. Then click the card to flip it. If you knew the answer, click the green Know box. Otherwise, click the red Don't know box.

When you've placed seven or more cards in the Don't know box, click "retry" to try those cards again.

If you've accidentally put the card in the wrong box, just click on the card to take it out of the box.

You can also use your keyboard to move the cards as follows:

If you are logged in to your account, this website will remember which cards you know and don't know so that they are in the same box the next time you log in.

When you need a break, try one of the other activities listed below the flashcards like Matching, Snowman, or Hungry Bug. Although it may feel like you're playing a game, your brain is still making more connections with the information to help you out.

To see how well you know the information, try the Quiz or Test activity.
