| STOREHOUSE OF CHEMICAL ENERGY USED BY CELLS IN CHEMICAL REACTIONS | ATP (ADENOSINE TRIPHOSPHATE) |
| RELEASES ENERGY WHEN BOND BETWEEN 2ND & 3RD PHOSPHATE GROUP IS BROKEN | ATP (ADENOSINE TRIPHOSPHATE) |
| FLATTENED, SAC LIKE MEMBRANES WHERE LIGHT DEPENDENT REACTION TAKE PLACE IN CHLOROPLAST | THYLAKOID |
| COLLECTION OR STACK OF THYLAKOIDS | GRANNA/GRANUM |
| FLUID FILLED COMPARTMENT IN CHLOROPLAST WHERE LIGHT INDEPENDENT REACTION TAKES PLACE | STROMA |
| LIGHT ABSORBING COLORED MOLECULES | PIGMENTS |
| MAJOR LIGHT ABSORBING PIGMENT IN PLANTS | CHLOROPHYLLS |
| ABSORB LIGHT IN THE BLUE AND GREEN REGIONS OF THE VISIBLE SPECTRUM EX: BETA CAROTENES | CAROTENOIDS |
| group of compounds that pass electron from one to another via redox reactions | ELECTRON TRANSPORT |
| PRODUCES ATP WITH ELECTRON TRANSPORT | CHEMIOSMOSIS |
| ELECTRON CARRIER | NADP+ |
| ENERGY CARRIER & STORAGE MOLECULE | NADPH |
| makes NADPH, does not take place first | PHOTOSYSTEM I |
| One of two light-capturing units in a chloroplast's thylakoid membrane; it has two molecules of P680 chlorophyll a at its reaction center, makes ATP and uses electrons from light | PHOTOSYSTEM II |
| reactions of photosynthesis in which energy from ATP and NADPH is used to build high-energy compounds such as sugars | CALVIN CYCLE |
| the series of molecules down which excited electrons are passed in a thylakoid membrane | ELECTRON TRANSPORT CHAIN |
| organelle found in cells of plants and some other organisms that captures the energy from sunlight and converts it into chemical energy | CHLOROPLASTS |
| Ribulose carboxylase, the enzyme that catalyzes the first step of the Calvin cycle (the addition of CO2 to RuBP, or ribulose bisphosphate). | RUBISCO |
| joins CO2 with organic molecules inside the stroma of chloroplasts | CALVIN CYCLE |
| CONSIDERED ONE OF THE MOST IMPORTANT BIOLOGICAL ENZYMES BECAUSE CONVERTS INORGANIC CARBON DIOXIDE INTO USABLE ORGANIC MOLECULES | RUBISCO |
| 1ST STEP OF THE CALVIN CYCLE WHERE CARBON DIOXIDE JOINS WITH ORGANIC MOLECULES | CARBON FIXATION |
| nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide...a product of the first stage of photosynthesis and is used to help fuel the reactions that take place in the second stage of photosynthesis. phosphate hydrogen | NADPH |
| Short for nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate. A coenzyme that occurs in many living cells and functions as an electron acceptor | NADP |
| an integral membrane protein complex that uses light energy to produce the high energy carriers ATP and NADPH | PHOTOSYSTEM I |
| absorbs light for use to drive the oxidation of water | PHOTOSYSTEM II |
