Photosynthesis Flashcards
What needs energy to stay alive and carry out their life processes
living things
Where can cells store energy
in the bonds of chemical compounds
adenosine triphosphate other wise known as what
ATP
How can a cell store a small amount of energy
by adding a phosphate group to ADP to make ATP
What is a chlorophyll
the principal pigment of green plants
Photosynthetic organisms use pigments to do what
capture the energy of sunlight
Where does photosynthesis take place
chloroplast
Chlorophyll-containing membranes are called what
Thylakoids
What are stacks of Thylakoid called
Grana
What is the fluid portion of the chloroplast
stroma
How does chlorophyll absorb light (efficiently or not efficiently)
efficiently
Light-Dependent reactions transfers what into the thylakoid
light
Light-Dependent reactions transfer what from ADP and NADP+
ATP and NADPH
Light-Dependent reactions transfer ATP and NADPH into where
The stroma
How does Light-Independent reactions transfer ADP and NADP+ into the thylakoid
it uses co2 and sugars (glucose)
