What is accessory pigment?

• light absorbing compounds found in photosynthesis

• released energy when one of its high energy bonds is broken

• the study of energy flow into and within living systems

What is ATP?

• process by which some organisms use chemical energy to produce carbs

• important enzyme that provides energy

• released energy when one of its high-energy bonds is broken to release a phosphate group

What is ATP Synthase?

• process by which some organisms use chemical energy to produce carbs

• an important enzyme that provides energy for the cell to use through synthesis of adenosine and triphosphate

• second stage of photosynthesis in which carbon atms from CO2 are combined using energy in ATP and NADPH to make glucose

What is an autotroph? (aka producer?)

• second stage of photosynthesis in which carbon atms from CO2 are combined using energy in ATP and NADPH to make glucose

• an organism that can capture energy from sunlight or chemicals and use it produce its own food from inorganic compounds

• an organelle found in plant cells and the cells of other eukaryotic photosynthetic organisms where photosynthesis occurs.

What is bioenergetics?

• green light pigment to absorb sunlight in the light reaction of photosynthesis

• second stage of photosynthesis in which carbon atms from CO2 are combined using energy in ATP and NADPH to make glucose

• the study of energy flow into and within living systems

What is the Calvin Cycle?

• the second stage of photosynthesis in which carbon atoms from carbon dioxide are combined using the energy in ATP and NADPH to make gluclose

• the study of energy flow into and within living systems

• simple carbohydrate with the chemical formula c6h12o6

What is Chemo-synthesis?

• light absorbing compounds found in photosynthesis

• the study of energy flow into and within living systems

• process by which some organisms use chemical energy to produce carbohydrates

What is a chloroplast?

• process by which some organisms use chemical energy to produce carbohydrates

• an organelle found in plant cells and the cells of other eukaryotic photosynthetic organisms where photosynthesis occurs.

• ability to do work

What is chlorophyll?

• process by which some organisms use chemical energy to produce carbohydrates

• ability to do work

• green pigment in a chloroplast that absorbs sunlight in the light reaction of photosynthesis

What is electrochemical gradient?

• the second stage of photosynthesis in which carbon atoms from carbon dioxide are combined using the energy in ATP and NADPH to make gluclose

• organic molecule that organisms use for chemical energy

• an ion that can move across a membrane
