Photosynthesis | Tranforms solar energy into the chemical energy of a carbon hydrate. |
Chloroplasts | the organelles that carry on photosynthesis. |
Stroma | Fluid filled area in a chloroplast. |
Thylakoids | stacked up green plates, that form grana. |
Chlorophyll | including pigments reside within the membranes of the thylakoids. They allow pigments are capable of absorbing solar energy, the energy that drives photosynthesis. |
Reduction | Gain of electrons and H+, and the molecule is said to be reduced, |
Oxidation | Loss of electrons and H+, the molecule is said to oxidized. |
Light reactions | the capture solar energy |
Calvin cycle | synthesis refers to the reaction that produces a carbohydrate. |

P1 | produces NADPH |
PII | splits water |
ATP synthase | the production of ATP captures the realesed energy. |
NADP+ | is a coenzymes,that accepts e-, becoming NADPH |
