Photosynthesis-Montgomery

1. the commonly used name of the light-independent reactions
3. a set of reactions which happen in the thylakoids; use energy from sunlight to add a third phosphate to ADP to make ATP; raises the low energy electrons from a water molecule to high energy levels
4. a light-absorbing compound
6. made of adenine, a 5-Carbon sugar (ribose) and two phosphate groups instead of three
9. made of adenine, a 5-Carbon sugar (ribose) and three phosphate groups; a compound that stores energy in chemical bonds
10. a saclike chlorophyll-containing membrane that fills chloroplasts
12. a series of electron carrier proteins that shuttle high-energy electrons and create conditions to help generate ATP
13. the organelle that carries out photosynthesis in eukaryotes
14. an electron carrier used to trap some of the energy of sunlight in a chemical form during photosynthesis
15. a process in which organisms convert the energy of sunlight, water and carbon dioxide into chemical energy stored in the bonds of carbohydrates

2. ATP and NADPH produced by light-dependent reactions are used to build high energy sugars from carbon dioxide; takes place in the stroma; no light is needed
5. a membrane protein in the thylakoid that allows H+ ions to pass through the thylakoid membrane
7. the fluid portion of a chloroplast
8. the main pigment of green organisms
11. clusters of chlorophyll and proteins located in the thylakoids that are the machinery needed for photosynthesis
