• True

• False

A Heterotroph is an organism that makes its own food

• True

• False

Answer explanation

Autotrophs make their own food

NADP+ provides the high-energy electrons for the Calvin cycle. The reduced form is NADP+

• True

• False

Answer explanation

NADPH

An organism that cannot make it's own food is called a Heterotroph.

• True

• False

When NADPH is reduced it loses a proton in the form of a Hydrogen.Which is the reduced form of NADPH?

• NADP+

• ADP

• NADPH

• ATP

Answer explanation

NADP+ is a carrier molecule that transfers high-energy electrons from chlorophyll to other molecules.

Light-absorbing molecule that provides color

• by-product

• stroma

• ATP Synthase

• Pigment

Reactions of photosynthesis that use energy from light and water to produce ATP and NADPH (by-product is Oxygen)

• Light-Dependent Reactions

• Grana or Granum(plural)

• Photosynthesis

• Calvin Cycle

Flattened membranes in the chloroplast where the light dependent reaction takes place

• by-product

• thylakoid

• chloroplast

• chlorophyll

Low-energy molecule that can be converted to ATP

• ADP

• NADP+

• ATP

• NADPH

The light dependent cycle that used ATP, NADPH, and CO2 to produce sugars (by-products are NADP+ and ADP)
