Photosynthesis

The smallest basic unit of matter

Two or more atoms bonded by shared electrons

A molecule made up of subunits adenine and ribose, as well as three phosphate groups. it is an energy carrier.

To capture and transform light energy from the sun and store it in high-energy sugar molecules

An organelle where light absorption and photosynthesis take place in plant cells

An aquatic single celled photosynthetic organism that evolved 3.5 billion years ago

A sugar made by plants to store energy

To take up or receive by chemical or molecular action

To cast back from a surface

Pigment molecules inside a chloroplast

The disk shaped sacs that are in the inner membrane of the chloroplast

a stage in photosynthesis where electrons’ energy is used to pump hydrogen ions into the thylakiod making a build up of ions

an electrically charged atom or group of atoms formed by the loss or gain of one or more electrons,

a reaction that occurs during photosynthesis in the thylakiods when light is absorbed

A reaction that occurs during photosynthesis in the stroma without light

A fluid located in the interior of chloroplast’s inner membrane and surrounding the thylakoids

the second stage of photosynthesis that uses energy from light dependent reactions (ATP and NADPH) to make sugar

organisms that take energy from the sun and convert it into food
