F & C photosynthesis 1

Adenosine Triphosphate (ATP)

• cellular energy molecule; "fuels" the cell; energy is stored in the phosphate bonds.
• part of photosynthesis which converts light energy to chemical energy in the thylakoids
• The molecule that captures sunlight and makes the plant green

• Found in a stack of thylakoids

Photosynthesis

• the process by which green plants use sunlight to make glucose (food)
• part of photosynthesis which produces glucose in the stroma; also
• the process in which glucose is broken down to make ATP energy

• the cellular energy molecule that fuels the cell

Chloroplast

• the organelle found in plants in which photosynthesis takes place
• cellular energy molecule; "fuels" the cell; energy is stored in the phosphate bonds.
• the organelle where cellular respiration takes place

• the organelle that is found only in animal cells

Thylakoids

• (look like pancakes) the structures in the chloroplast where the light dependent reactions take place
• the process by which green plants use sunlight to make glucose (food)
• membranes in the mitochondria that make ATP

• The inside fluid of the chloroplast

Granum

• a stack of thylakoids
• the organelle found in plants in which photosynthesis takes place
• A stack of chlorophyll

• The inner lining of the mitochondria

Stroma

• (like syrup) the fluid within the chloroplast where the light-independent reactions (Calvin Cycle) take place

• (look like pancakes) the structures in the chloroplast where the light dependent reactions take place
• Place where the light-dependent reactions take place

• The fluid part of the mitochondria

Light-dependent reactions

• part of photosynthesis which converts light energy to chemical energy in the thylakoids
• a stack of thylakoids
• The part of cellular respiration in which the mitochondria uses light to make ATP

• part of photosynthesis that happens in the stroma

Light-independent reactions

• part of photosynthesis which produces glucose in the stroma; also called the Calvin cyclC

• (like syrup) the fluid within the chloroplast

• a stack of thylakoids

• The part of cellular respiration also known as the Krebs Cycle

• Calvin Cycle

• Photolysis

• Photosynthesis

• Cellular Respiration
