Chapter 4 Vocabulary Terms (Sections 1-3)
12
ATP:high-energy molecule that contains, within its bonds, energy that cells can use.
ADP:low-energy molecule that can be converted to ATP.
chemosynthesis:process by which ATP is made using chemicals as an energy source instead of light.
photosynthesis:process by which light energy is converted to chemical energy.
chlorophyll:light-absorbing pigment molecule in photosynthetic organisms.
thylakoid:membrane-bound structure within chloroplasts that contain chlorophyll and other light-absorbing pigments used in the light-dependent reactions of photosynthesis.
light dependent reactions:part of photosynthesis that absorbs energy from sunlight and transfers energy to the light-independent reactions.
light independent reactions:part of photosynthesis that uses energy absorbed during the light-dependent reactions to make carbohydrates.
photosystem:series of light-absorbing pigments and proteins that capture and transfer energy from sunlight in the thylakoid membrane.
electron transport chain:series of proteins in the thylakoid and mitochondrial membranes that aid in converting ADP to ATP by transferring electrons.
ATP synthase:enzyme that adds a high-energy phosphate group to ADP to form ATP.
Calvin cycle:process by which a photosynthetic organism uses energy to make simple sugars from carbon dioxide.
