The principal pigment of green plants.
What is chlorophyll?
Thylakoids
What are sac like chlorophyll containing membranes?
6 CO2 + 6 H2 O ----Light------> C6 H2O6 + 6 O2
What is the summary equation in symbols for photosynthesis?
Thylakoid membranes
What is where the light-dependent reactions of photosynthesis take place within the chloroplasts?
No __ is required to power the light-independent reactions of photosynthesis.
What is light?
Photosynthetic organisms use ___ to capture the energy in sunlight.
What are pigments?
Photosynthesis takes place inside organelles called__.
What are chloroplasts?
___uses the energy of sunlight to convert water and carbon dioxide into high-energy sugars and oxygen.
What is photosynthesis?
NADP+
What is an electron carrier that is converted to NADPH during the light-dependent reactions of photosynthesis?
ATP and NADPH molecules produced during the light-dependent reactions of photosynthesis.
What are used to build high-energy sugars from carbon dioxide?
Chlorophyll A and Chlorophyll B
What are two types of chlorophyll found in plants?
Chlorophyll absorbs light very efficiently transferring light energy to its own electrons.
What is "What's so special about chlorophyll that makes it essential for photosynthesis?"

What is capture the energy of sunlight and transform it into energy rich compounds such as carbohydrates?
Chlorophyll does not absorb light well in the green region of the visible spectrum and __ it.
What is reflects?
Stroma
What is the fluid-portion of the chloroplasts outside of the thylakoids?

When a pair or electrons are taken from water these are left over and released to the atmosphere as __ __we and all other animals breathe.
What is oxygen gas?
Producing carbon-containing sugars and other carbohydrates.
What are plants absorb carbon dioxide from atmosphere and complete the process of photosynthesis?
