chapter 6 vocab
ADP: a molecule with two high energy phosphate bonds that is formed by breaking one phosphate bond in ATP
Calvin Cycle: set of reactions in the stroma that fixes the carbon of CO2 into carbohydrate molecules
-

-
Thylakoid Membrane: photosynthetic membrane within a chloroplast that contains light gathering pigment molecules and electron transport chains
ATP: a molecule with three high energy phosphate bonds that act as the primary energy transferring molecule
Thylakoid: system of interconnected flattened membrane sacs forming a separate compartment within the stroma
-
-
-
NADPH: compound that donates one hydrogen atom and two electrons to another molecule, to reform NADP+; an electron donor
Light-Dependent Reactions: first set of reactions of photosynthesis in which light energy excites electrons in chlorophyll, powers chemiosmotic ATP synthesis, and results in the reduction of NADP+ to NADPH
-
Calvin Cycle: set of reactions in the stroma that fixes the carbon of CO2 into carbohydrate molecules
Light-Independent Reactions: second set of reactions in photosynthesis, and does not require solar energy
Photosystem: cluster of photosynthetic pigments embedded in a thylakoid membrane that absorbs light energy
-
Photolysis: chemical reaction in which a compound is broken down by light; in photosynthesis, water is split
-
