Sure! Here are the definitions matched with the corresponding keywords:

  1. ADP - A molecule that can be converted to ATP by the addition of a phosphate group.

  2. ATP - The primary energy carrier in all living organisms; it provides energy for many cellular processes.

  3. ATP synthase - An enzyme that catalyzes the formation of ATP from ADP and inorganic phosphate, using the energy from a proton gradient.

  4. Chlorophyll - A green pigment found in plants that is essential for photosynthesis, allowing the absorption of light energy.

  5. Chloroplast - An organelle in plant cells where photosynthesis occurs, containing chlorophyll.

  6. Electron transport chain - A series of protein complexes and other molecules that transfer electrons from electron donors to electron acceptors, generating a proton gradient used for ATP synthesis.

  7. Light-dependent reactions - The first stage of photosynthesis, where light energy is converted to chemical energy in the form of ATP and NADPH.

  8. Light-independent reactions (Calvin cycle) - The second stage of photosynthesis, where ATP and NADPH produced in the light-dependent reactions are used to convert carbon dioxide into glucose.

  9. NADP+ - An electron carrier molecule that is reduced to NADPH during the light-dependent reactions of photosynthesis.

  10. NADPH - A reduced form of NADP+ that carries electrons and is used in the Calvin cycle to help convert carbon dioxide into glucose.

  11. Photosynthesis - The process by which green plants, algae, and some bacteria convert light energy into chemical energy in the form of glucose.

  12. Photosystem I - A protein complex in the thylakoid membrane that participates in the light-dependent reactions and helps produce NADPH.

  13. Photosystem II - A protein complex in the thylakoid membrane that absorbs light and generates high-energy electrons for the electron transport chain.

  14. Stroma - The fluid-filled space inside chloroplasts surrounding the thylakoids, where the light-independent reactions occur.

  15. Thylakoid - Membrane-bound structures within chloroplasts where the light-dependent reactions of photosynthesis take place.
