Photosynthesis Part 1

Match it! Select the correct answer from the pull down...Good luck!

Harness the energy in photons of sunlight to produce ATP and NADPH, molecules that store the energy from the sun for transfer to the Calvin cycle.

Organisms that produce their own organic compounds (food). One way they do that is by undergoing photosynthesis.

The ability to do work. Photosynthetic organisms harness light energy from the sun to produce chemical energy stored in sugars.

An energy-rich molecule produced in the light reactions and used up in the Calvin cycle to drive sugar synthesis. When ATP is broken down, it releases energy and becomes ADP + a phosphate group (Pi).

Sac-like membranes that are organized into stacks called grana

An electron carrier that transfers some of the energy absorbed from the sun in the light reactions to the Calvin cycle for sugar synthesis.

Chloroplasts are the organelles in plant and algal cells where photosynthesis takes place.

The fluid surrounding the thylakoid membranes within the chloroplast.
