| NADP+ Nicontinamide dinuctedtide phosphate | electron carrier molecule. When carrying excited electron it becomes NADPH |
| Electron Transport Chain | series of proteins embedded in a membrane along which energized electrons are transported. s electrons are passed from molecule to molecule, energy is released. |
| Chlorophyll | Light- absorbing pigmets in plants and some protists that is required for photosnythesis. Absorbs most wave lengths of light except for green. |
| Light-Dependent reactions | phase of photosynthesis where light energy is converted to chemical energy in teh form of ATP. Results in teh splittng of water and release f oxygen. |
| ADP -Adenosine diphosphate | Molecule formed from teh breaking off of aphosphate group for ATP. Results in a large release of enegy that is used for biological reactions. |
| ATP- Adenosien triphosphate | energy- sotring molecule in cells coposed of an adenosine molecule, ariose sugar adn 3 phosphate groups. Energy is stored in teh molecule's chemical bonds and can be used quicly and easily by cells. |
| Photosnythesis | process by which autotrops such as algae and plants, trap energy from sunlight with chlorophyll and use this energy to conert carbon dioxide and water into simple sugars. |
| Light- independent reactions | phase of photosynthesis wher energy from light dependent reations is used to producce glucose and Additional ATP molecules. This stops if chlorphyll is unable to absor light. |
| Pigments | Molecules that absorb specific wave lengths of sunlight. These are in teh thylakoid mebrane. |
| photolysis | reaction taking place in the thylakoid membranes of a chloroplst during light dependent reactions where 2 molecules of water are split to form oxygen, hydrogen ions, adn electrons. |
| Calvin Cycle | series of reations during hte light independent phase of photo synthesis in which simpel sugars are formed from dioxide suing ATP and hydrogen from teh light- dependent reactions. |
