Certainly! Here are the Unit 5 keywords matched with their definitions. Please ensure proper alignment based on the requirements of your assignment.
- ADP - A low-energy molecule that can be converted to ATP.
- ATP - The energy currency of the cell, used for energy transfer.
- ATP synthase - An enzyme that produces ATP from ADP and inorganic phosphate during cellular respiration and photosynthesis.
- Chlorophyll - A pigment found in plants that absorbs light energy, primarily from the blue and red parts of the light spectrum.
- Chloroplast - The organelle where photosynthesis occurs in plant cells.
- Electron transport chain - A series of proteins that transfer electrons, producing ATP through oxidative phosphorylation.
- Light-dependent reactions - The phase of photosynthesis that captures and converts sunlight into chemical energy (ATP and NADPH).
- Light-independent reactions (Calvin cycle) - The phase of photosynthesis that uses ATP and NADPH to synthesize glucose from carbon dioxide.
- NADP+ - The carrier molecule that transfers high-energy electrons during photosynthesis.
- NADPH - The reduced form of NADP+, which carries electrons and hydrogen ions to the Calvin cycle.
- Photosynthesis - The process by which plants, algae, and some bacteria convert light energy into chemical energy stored in glucose.
- Photosystem I - A protein complex in the thylakoid membrane that plays a role in the light-dependent reactions; it absorbs light and uses it to reduce NADP+ to NADPH.
- Photosystem II - A protein complex in the thylakoid membrane that captures light energy and uses it to produce ATP and split water molecules, releasing oxygen.
- Stroma - The fluid-filled space surrounding the thylakoids in chloroplasts where the Calvin cycle takes place.
- Thylakoid - Membrane-bound compartments inside chloroplasts where the light-dependent reactions occur.
