1
New cards
Photosynthesis
The process that converts light energy into chemical energy (glucose) in plants, algae, and some bacteria.
2
New cards
Cellular Respiration
The process that breaks down glucose to release energy (ATP) in all living organisms.
3
New cards
Interdependence in Photosynthesis and Respiration
The oxygen produced in photosynthesis is used in respiration, while the carbon dioxide released in respiration is used in photosynthesis.
4
New cards
Light-Dependent Reactions
Reactions occurring in the thylakoid membranes of chloroplasts that use sunlight to produce ATP and NADPH.
5
New cards
Photolysis
The process of splitting water molecules using sunlight during light-dependent reactions, releasing oxygen.
6
New cards
Calvin Cycle
The set of light-independent reactions happening in the stroma of the chloroplast that fix carbon dioxide into organic molecules.
7
New cards
RuBisCO
An enzyme that catalyzes carbon fixation in the Calvin Cycle, making it essential for life.
8
New cards
Carbon Cycle
The process where plants take in CO₂, convert it into glucose, and release oxygen.
9
New cards
Water Cycle
The cycle in which water is split in photosynthesis and reformed in respiration.
10
New cards
Oxygen Cycle
The process where oxygen is produced in photosynthesis and consumed in respiration.
