| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| Compound that cells use to store and release energy | Adenosine triphosphate |
| Organisms that make their own food | autotroph |
| Organisms taht counsume other organismis | heterotroph |
| Autotrophs that use sunlight to make chemical energy | photosynthesis |
| Light-absorbing molecules | pigment |
| Plants principle pigment | chlorophyll |
| saclike photosynthetic membranes | thylakoid |
| The fluid portion of the chloroplast,outside the chloroplast | stroma |
| carrier compound | NADP+ |
| Direct involvment of light and light-absorbing pigments | Light-dependant reactions |
| ATP and NADPH Are used to produce high-energy sugars from carbon dioxide | Light-independant reactions |
| Thylakoids contain clsuters of chlorophyll and proteins | Phototsystem |
| The spans the membrane and allows H+ ions to pass through this protein | ATP synthase |
| series of elctron carrier proteins that shuttle high energy electrons during ATP-Generating reactions | electron transport chain |
| plants use the energy ATP and NADPH contain to build stable high-energy carbs compounds that can be stored for a long time. | Calvin cycle |
