| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| A nucleotide that occurs in muscle tissue, and is used as a source of energy in cellular reactions, and in the synthesis of nucleic acids. ` | Adenosine Triphosphate(ATP) |
| Any organism that can synthesize its food from inorganic substances, using heat or light as a source of energy. | Autotroph |
| (ecology) An organism which requires an external supply of energy in the form of food as it cannot synthesize its own. | Heterotroph |
| The process by which plants and other photoautotrophs generate carbohydrates and oxygen from carbon dioxide, water, and light energy in chloroplasts. | Photosynthesis |
| Any color in plant or animal cells. "Chlorophyll is the pigment responsible for most plants' green colouring." | Pigment |
| set of reactions in photosynthesis that use energy from light to produce ATP and NADP | Light-Dependent Reactions |
| Any of a group of green pigments that are found in the chloroplasts of plants and in other photosynthetic organisms such as cyanobacteria. | Chlorophyll |
| folded membrane within plant chloroplasts from which grana are made, used in photosynthesis. | Thylakoid |
| the tissue structure of an organ, etc., that serves to support it. | Stroma |
| °nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate. | NADP+ |
| Set of reactions in photosynthesis that do not require light; energy from ATP and NADPH is used to buil high-energy compounds such as sugar, also called calvin cycle | Light-Independent Reactions |
| Either of two biochemical systems, active in chloroplasts, that are part of photosynthesis. | Photosystem |
| Any enzyme that catalyzes the synthesis of a biological compound but, unlike synthetases, does not make use of ATP as a source of energy. | ATP synthase |
| series of electropns carrier proteins that shuttle high-energy electron during ATP-generating reactions | Electron Transport Chain |
| The prominent bone between the shoulder and the neck. synonyms:collarbone, collar-bone | Calvin Cycle |
