|---|---|
| Most important compound that cells use to store and release energy. | Adenosine Triphosphate |
| Organisms that make their own food. | Autotroph |
| Organism that get food by consuming other organisms. | Heterotroph |
| Process autotrophs use to convert energy of sunlight to produce high-energy carbohydrates. | Photosynthesis |
| Light absorbing molecules. | Pigment |
| Plant's principal pigment. | Chlorophyll |
| Saclike photosynthetic membranes. | Thylakoid |
| Fluid portion of the chloroplast, outside of the thylakoids. | Stroma |
| An electron carrier, which is known as nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate. | NADP |
| First set of reactions in photosynthesis, which requires the direct involvement of light and light-absorbing pigments. | Light-dependent reactions |
| When ATP and NADPH molecules produce in the light-dependent reactions are used to produce high-energy sugars from carbon dioxide. | Light-independet reactions |
| Thylakoids contain clusters of chlorophyll and proteins known as? | Photosystem |
| The thylakoid membrane contains a protein that spans the membrane and allows H+ ions to pass through it, called what? | ATP synthase |
| Series of electron carrier proteins that shuttle high-energy electrons during ATP-generating reactions. | Electron transport chain |
| The light-independant reactions that plants use the energy that ATP and NADPH contain to build stable high-energy carbohydrates compounds that can be stored for a long time, which is commonly referred as? | Calvin cycle |
