Here's a set of responses that can be used to complete the statements in your vocabulary practice:
- ATP - a molecule that carries energy inside cells and serves as the energy currency of a cell.
- Chloroplast - the organelle in plant cells where photosynthesis occurs.
- Chlorophyll - captures energy from sunlight during photosynthesis.
- Light-dependent reactions - a series of reactions that convert light energy into chemical energy, producing NADPH and ATP.
- ADP (Adenosine Diphosphate) - a lower energy molecule that can be converted to ATP by adding a third phosphate group.
- Electron transport chain - a system that moves high-energy electrons and pumps hydrogen ions during photosynthesis.
- Calvin Cycle - consists of reactions that do not require light and convert carbon dioxide into glucose.
- Stroma - in the chloroplast, is the fluid-filled space where light-independent reactions take place.
- ATP - created from ADP during the light-dependent reactions.
- NADP+ reductase - the protein complex where NADP+ is converted to NADPH.
- Photosystem II - where water is split, producing oxygen and creating hydrogen ions.
- Thylakoids - sack-like structures in chloroplasts where light-dependent reactions occur.
- Photosynthesis - the process that transforms light energy into stored chemical energy.
- NADPH - the electron carrier molecule that accepts two high-energy electrons and a hydrogen ion to become NADPH.
Use these responses to fill in the "Response area" in your exercise. Good luck!
