Photosynthesis Voc

saclike photosynthetic membrane structures found in chloroplasts; stacked like coins

• thylakoids

• stroma

• chlorophyll

• xylem

Process in which autotrophs convert the energy from sunlight to synthesize high-energy carbohydrates - sugars and starches - that can be used as food

• cellular respiration

• adenosine triphosphate

• photosynthesis

• glycolysis

Chemical compound used by cells to store and release energy

• ATP

• NADP+

• chlorophyll

• glucose

fluid portion of the chloroplast that lies outside the thylakoids

• cytoplasm

• cytosol

• vacuole

• stroma

this step of photosynthesis happens in the dark and produces glucose as a product

• light independent reaction

• light dependent reaction

• electron transport chain

• Kreb's cycle

pigment found in plants that absorb energy from the sun

• xanthophyll

• carotene

• chloroplast

• chlorophyll

stage in photosynthesis that involves UV light from the sun

• light independent reaction

• Calvin cycle

• light dependent reaction

• Kreb's cycle

this an enzyme that carries electrons and helps create ATP

• electron transport chain

• NADP+

• NAD

• ADP

this is a series of reactions that transfer electrons from a donor molecule to an acceptor molecule - to create ATP

• light independent reaction

• light dependent reaction

• electron transport chain

• Calvin cycle
