The process plants use to trap the suns energy and build carbohydrates that store energy
|
Photosynthesis
|
|
|
convert light energy into chemical energy
|
Light Dependent Reactions
|
|
|
Molecules that absorb specific wavelenghts of molecules
|
Pigments
|
|
|
Series of proteins embedded in a membrane along which energized electrons are transported
|
Electron Transport Chain
|
|
|
The process in green plants and certain other organisms by which carbohydrates are synthesized from carbon dioxide and water using light as an energy source
|
Photosynthesis
|
Used to make glucose
|
|
Formula of Photosynthesis
|
6H20 + 6C02----> C6H12O6 + 6O2
|
|
|
Organisms of Photosynthesis
|
Protazoan, Algae, Bacteria
|
|
|
Organelle
|
Chloroplasts
|
|
|
Most common pigment in chloroplasts
|
Chlorophyll
|
|
|
An adenosine-derived nucleotide, C10H16N5O13P3, that contains high-energy phosphate bonds and is used to transport energy to cells for biochemical processes, including muscle contraction and enzymatic metabolism, through its hydrolysis to ADP. ATP is hydrolyzed to AMP when it is incorporated into DNA or RNA
|
ATP
|
|
|
A coenzyme, C21H28N7O17P3, occurring in most living cells and utilized similarly to NAD but interacting with different metabolites
|
NADP
|
|
|
The connective tissue framework of an organ, gland, or other structure, as distinguished from the tissues performing the special function of the organ or part
|
Stroma
|
|
|
Chemical decomposition induced by light or other radiant energy
|
Photolysis
|
|
|
a cycle of biochemical reactions taking place in the chloroplasts plants during photosynthesis in which carbon dioxide is fixed and six-carbon sugar formed; also called Calvin-Benson cycle
|
Calvin Cycle
