Photosynthesis

A process that captures energy from sunlight to make sugars that store chemical energy

• Chlorophyll

• Photosynthesis

• Light Dependent Reactions

• Thylakoids

A molecule in chloroplasts, that absorbs some of the energy in visible light

• Chloroplasts

• Photosynthesis

• Chlorophyll

• Light-Independent Reactions

The flattened sacs that are arranged in stacks inside a chloroplast, where photosynthesis take place

• Grana

• Photosynthesis

• Chrolophyll

• Thylakoid

The first stage of photosynthesis, is to convert solar energy into chemical energy in the form of NADPH and ATP

• Light Independent Reactions

• Photosynthesis

• Light Dependent Reactions

• Grana

The energized electrons from the light-dependent reactions provide the energy to form carbohydrates from carbon dioxide molecules

• Light-Independent Reactions

• Grana

• Photosynthesis

• Thylakoids

The light-independent reactions are sometimes called the ___________________ because of the cyclical nature of the process

• Electron Transport Chain

• Cellular Respiration Cycle

• Calvin Cycle

• Carbon Cycle

During the light dependent reactions, energy is captured and transferred in the thylakoid membranes by two groups of molecules called ___________________.

• Calvin Cycle

• ATP

• Photons

• Photosystems

A cluster of proteins that transfer electrons through a membrane within mitochondria to form a gradient of protons that drives the creation of adenosine triphosphate (ATP).

• Calvin Cycle

• ATP synthase

• Electron Transport Chain

• Photosynthesis

The _______________________ uses carbon dioxide gas from the atmosphere and the energy carried by ATP and NADPH to make simple sugars

• Calvin Cycle

• Cellular Respiration

• ATP Synthase

• Mitochondria

An enzyme that catalyzes the formation of the energy storage molecule adenosine triphosphate (ATP)

• ATP

• ATP Synthase

• ADP

• Calvin Cycle
