Photosynthesis

3. Used to make glucose and other carbohydrates
4. A compound that donates one hydrogen atom and two electrons to another molecule, to reform NADP+
7. Cycle A set of reactions occurring in the stroma of chloroplasts that fixes the carbon of carbon dioxide into carbohydrate molecules and recycles coenzymes
11. membrane The photosynthetic membrane within a chloroplast that contains light-gathering pigment molecules and electron transport chains
12. A reaction in which an atom or a compound loses an electron
14. The process by which green plants and some other organisms use solar energy, carbon dioxide, and water, to produce carbohydrates
15. synthase complex A protein found in the thylakoid membrane that moves hydrogen from the lumen to the stroma and uses the resulting released energy to make ATP
17. Transport molecule (blood sugar) medium term energy storage in most cells

1. independent reaction The second set of reactions in photosynthesis (The Calvin Cycle). Does not require solar energy
2. fixation The process of incorporating carbon dioxide into carbohydrate molecules
5. Transport Chain A cluster of photosynthetic pigments embedded in a thylakoid membrane of a chloroplast that absorbs light energy
6. A reaction in which an atom or compound gains electrons
8. A process for synthesizing ATP using the energy of an electrochemical gradient and the ATP synthase enzyme
9. A cluster of photosynthetic pigments embedded in a thylakoid membrane of a chloroplast that absorbs light energy
10. A light absorbing green colored pigment that begins the process of photosynthesis
13. A chemical reaction in which Water is broken down by light
16. A packet of light
