Heterotrophs
Living thing that make their own food
Autotrophs
The process by which autotrophs use the energy of sunlight to produce high energy carbohydrates
Photosynthesis
Organelles that take place inside organelles called chloroplasts.
Thylakoids.
The liquid-filled space around the thylakoids
Stroma
One of the molecules that accepts high-energy electrons from chlorophyll and carries them to other molecules during photosynthesis
NADP+
A reaction of photosynthesis that uses light energy to make ATP and NADPH
Light-dependent reactions
A reaction of photosynthesis that uses ATP, NADPH, and carbon dioxide to make high-energy sugars
Light-independent reactions
