- pigment
- A molecule containing atoms that enable it to absorb
- chlorophyll
- a green pigment which is the primary light-absorbing agent for photosynthesis
- photosystem
- the pigments used in photsynthesis are arranged in molecule clusters
- ATP synthase
- the ATP-generating protein channel
- NADPH
- the reduced form of NADP+ (nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate
- NADP+
- a coenzyme that carries hydrogen atoms from one place to another in a cell
- glycolysis
- the first stage of cellular respiration in which glucose splits into smaller molecules in a biochemical pathway
- krebs cycle
- the second stage of cellular respiration in which a series of reactions take place to produce ATP, electron carriers, and carbon dioxide
- electron transport chain
- a series of membrane-bound protein and pigment molecules and also where the third stage of cellular respiration takes place
- fermentation
- the process in which electrons from glycolysis are added to organic molecules under anaerobic conditions
