Chapter 9 Photosynthesis

Compound used by cells to store and release energy

• ATP
• Light-Dependent Reactions
• Light-Independent Reactions
• Photosynthesis

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 oxygen and energy-rich carbohydrates such as starches and sugars

• ATP
• Light-Dependent Reactions
• Light-Independent Reactions
• Photosynthesis

Set of Reactions in Photosynthesis that do not require light. Energy from ATP and NADPH are used to build high energy compounds.
