Ch. 4/5 (Photosynthesis and Cellular Respiration) Vocab. Quiz

Compound used by cells to store and release energy.

• ATP

• Photosynthesis

• Pigment

• Chlorophyll

Process used by plants and other autotrophs to capture light energy and use it to power chemical reactions that convert carbon dioxide and water into oxygens and energy-rich carbohydrates such as sugars and starches.

• Photosynthesis

• ATP

• Pigment

• Chlorophyll

Light-absorbing molecule used by plants to gather the sun’s energy.

• Photosynthesis

• Photosynthesis

• ATP

• Pigment

• Chlorophyll

Saclike photosynthetic membranes found in chloroplasts.

• Thylakoid

• Stroma

• NADP

• Light-Dependent Reactions

Fluid portion of the chloroplast; outside of the thylakoids.

• Thylakoid

• Stroma

• NADP

• Light-Dependent Reactions

Carrier molecule that transfers high-energy electrons from Chlorophyll to other molecules

• Thylakoid

• Stroma

• NADP

• Light-Dependent Reactions

Set of reactions in photosynthesis that use energy from light to produce ATP and NADPH.

• Thylakoid

• Stroma

• NADP

• Light-Dependent Reactions

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-Independent Reaction

• Photosystem

• Electron Transport Chain

• ATP Synthase

Cluster of chlorophyll and proteins found in the thylakoids.

• Light-Independent Reaction

• Photosystem

• Electron Transport Chain

• ATP Synthase
