Photosystem
Cluster of chlorophyll and proteins found in thylakoids.
Electron Transport Chain
Series of electron character proteins that shuttle high-energy electrons during an ATP-generating reactions.
ATP Synthase
Cluster of proteins that spin the thyroid membrane and allow hydrogen ions (H+) to pass through it.
Calvin Cycle
The light-independent reactions of photosynthesis in which energy from ATP and NADPH is used to build high-energy compounds such as sugar.
Calorie
Amount of energy needed to raise the temperature of 1 gram of water by 1°C.
Cellular respiration
Process that releases energy while breaking down glucose and other food molecules in the presence of oxygen.
Aerobic
Process that requires oxygen.
Anaerobic
