- Photosynthesis
- process plants use to trap the sun's energy and make carbohydrates
- formula
- 6CO2+12H2O--sunlight-->C6H12O6+3O2
- Organisms
- plants, protozoans and algea
- organelle
- chloroplast
- Light dependent reaction
- requires sunlight to take place
- chlorophyll
- green pigment that absorbs sunlight
- electron trasport chain
- makes ATP and transports electrons to the stroma
- ATP
- Adenine triphosphate, energy for the cell
- NADP
- Nicotinamide Adenine Dinucleotide Phospate, electron barrier molecule
- Stroma
- where the electron chain leads to
- Photolysis
- breaking down of water into 2 oxygen atoms and 1 hydrogen ion, creates an electron
- light independent reaction
- a reaction that doesn't require light
- calvin cycle
- cycle in photosynthesis in which glucose is made, occurs 6 times
