chloroplast - organelle where photosynthesis occurs, thylakoids - circular-shaped membranes filled with chlorophyll and enzymes where light reaction takes place, stroma - where Calvin cycle happens, chlorophyll - green pigment that captures light, light-dependent reaction - needs sunlight to produce ATP and NADPH, calvin cycle - uses carbon dioxide from the atmosphere to create glucose, photons - light particles, cytochrome complex - site where ATP is produced, photolysis - process where water splits into its components, photosystem II - start of light-dependent reaction, plastoquinone - electron acceptor that receives electrons from PS II, plastocyanin - electron acceptor that receives electrons from cytochrome complex to PS I, Ferredoxin - electron acceptor that delivers electrons from PS I to FNR, Ferredoxin NADP+ reductase - catalyzes the formation of NADPH, photophosphorylation - process where phosphate is added, ATP synthase - enzyme that catalyzes the synthesis of ATP, carbon fixation - first step of calvin cycle where carbon dioxide is captured to bind with RuBP, ribulose bisphosphate - 5-carbon molecule used to start the calvin cycle, RUBISCO - enzyme that helps bind carbon dioxide to RuBP, Phosphoglycerates - 3-carbon compound that resulted from the split of the six carbon compound, adenosine triphosphate - compound needed to produce biphosphoglycerate, adenosine diphosphate - compound that goes back to the light dependent reaction, NADPH - compound that delivers hydrogen and electron to BPGA to produce G3P or PGAL, glyceraldehyde phosphate - 2 molecules of this compound needed to produce glucose, glucose - 6-carbon compound that is the product of photosynthesis, reduction - step in the calvin cycle where PGA is reduced to form G3P and then glucose, RuBP regeneration - step where 10 molecules of PGAL goes back to form 6 molecules or 5-carbon compound to continue the calvin cycle, photosynthesis - process where water, carbon dioxide and light is used to make food for the plants, oxygen - waste product of photosynthesis, granum - stacks of thylakoids,
