Calvin Cycle

Series of electron carrier proteins that shuttle high-energy electrons during ATP-generating reactions

• NADP+

• Light-independent

• Light-dependent

• Electron transport chains

Light-independent reactions of photosynthesis in which energy from ATP and NADPH is used to build high-energy compounds such as sugar

• Stroma

• ATP synthase

• Calvin Cycle

• Electron Transport Chains

Fluid portion of the chloroplast; outside of the thylakoids

• Chlorophyll

• Stroma

• ATP

• NADP+

Set of reactions in photosynthesis that do not require light; energy from ATP and NADPH is used to build high-energy compounds such as sugar; also called the Calvin Cycle

• Light-dependent

• Light-independent

• Electron transport chain

• ATP synthase
