New cards

Photosynthesis

The process by which green plants and some other organisms use sunlight to synthesize foods with the main ingredient being carbon dioxide and water.

2
New cards

Chlorophyll

The green pigment in plants that captures light energy for photosynthesis.

3
New cards

Light-dependent reactions

The first stage of photosynthesis that converts solar energy into chemical energy in the form of ATP and NADPH.

4
New cards

Calvin Cycle

The second stage of photosynthesis that uses ATP and NADPH to convert carbon dioxide into glucose.

5
New cards

Thylakoid

A membrane-bound compartment inside chloroplasts where the light-dependent reactions of photosynthesis occur.

6
New cards

Stroma

The fluid-filled space surrounding the thylakoids in a chloroplast where the Calvin cycle takes place.

7
New cards

Carbon fixation

The initial step in the Calvin Cycle where inorganic carbon dioxide is converted into an organic compound.

8
New cards

Glucose

A simple sugar that is an important energy source in living organisms and a product of photosynthesis.
