light
The first stage of photosynthesis that convert solar energy into chemical energy.
What is a light-dependent reaction?
The primary energy currency of all living cells, acting as a universal molecular shuttle that stores and delivers energy for cellular processes.
What is ATP?
The biological process by which green plants, algae, and certain bacteria convert light energy into chemical energy.
What is Photosynthesis?
A membrane-bound, sac-like compartment inside the chloroplasts of plants and algae
What are thylakoids?
During the light-independent reactions ATP and NADPH from the light-dependent reactions are used to synthesize high energy _____________.
What are sugars? (glucose)
a series of biochemical steps in photosynthesis that convert carbon dioxide into glucose without requiring direct sunlight.
What is a light-independent reaction?
-A colored substance produced by living organisms that gains its color through selective absorption of specific wavelengths of light.
What is a pigment?
A group of proteins and pigment molecules (like chlorophyll) in plant cells that captures sunlight and uses it to power photosynthesis.
What is a photosystem?
The fluid portion of chloroplast, outside the thylakoids.
What is stroma?
Among the most important factors that affect photosynthesis are:
What are temperature, availability of water, and light intensity?
The light-dependent reactions use energy from sunlight to convert ADP to NADP+ into the energy and electron carriers ATP and NADPH these reactions also produce _____________________ as a byproduct.
What is Oxygen?
The principal pigment of green plants used to capture sunlight. This green pigment is essential for photosynthesis in plants, algae, and cyanobacteria.
What is chlorophyll?
a series of protein complexes in the inner membrane of cell mitochondria that passes electrons from one molecule to another to make cellular energy (ATP)
What is a electron transport chain?
A stack of thylakoids is called a__________________.
What is a granum?
An electron carrier is a compound that can accept a pair of________ ________ __________ and transfer them along with most of their energy to another molecule.
What are high energy electrons ?
________________________ organisms use pigments to capture the energy and sunlight.
What is Photosynthetic?
is a coenzyme that acts as a universal electron carrier in cellular metabolism.
What is NADP+?
A molecular machine and enzyme that acts like a tiny biological turbine to make ATP (adenosine triphosphate), the primary energy currency of the cell.
What is ATP Synthase?
The outer layer of chloroplast is called
What is the outer membrane?
What gas is brought in with photosynthesis?
What is CO2 or Carbon Dioxide?
In the process of photosynthesis plants convert the energy of sunlight into chemical energy stored in the bonds of ______________________.
What are carbohydrates?
This can release and store energy by breaking and reforming the bonds between its phosphate groups. The characteristic of this chemical is it makes it exceptionally useful as a basic energy source for all cells.
What is ATP?
A series of light-independent chemical reactions in plant chloroplasts that turns atmospheric carbon dioxide (CO2) into glucose and other sugars.
What is the Calvin Cycle?
The thylakoids and the stroma are found inside a cell of____________________________.
What is Chloroplast?
Another name for the light-interdependent reaction in photosynthesis?
What is the Calvin Cycle?
