cellular respiration
photosynthesis
chemosynthesis
Light-absorbing molecule used by plants to gather the sun's energy
solar cell
pigment
capture cell
Principle pigment of plants and other photosynthetic organisms.
carotids

NADP-
NADP+
Set of reactions in photosynthesis that use energy from light to produce ATP and NADPH
dark reactions
light-independent reactions
light-dependent reactions
