Definition
adenosine triphosphate
principle chemical compounds used to store and release energy
basic energy source of all cells
used in- active transport, protein synthesis, muscle contraction, responses to chemical signals at cell surface |

Definition
adenosine diphosphate
2 phosphate groups instead of 3
when a cell has energy available, it stores in small amounts of ADP |

Term
|
Definition
plants use energy to convert water and carbon dioxide into sugars and starches and the byproduct oxygen
6CO2 + 6H20 = C6H1202 + 602
requires light, chlorophyll, water |

Term
|
Definition
a compound that can accept a pair of high-energy electrons and transfer them along with most of their energy to another molecule
ex: NADP+ |

Term
| Light Dependent Reactions |
|
Definition
produce oxygen gas and convert ADP and NADP+ into energy carriers ATP and NADPH
require light
occurs in chloroplasts on thylakoid membrane |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
| when a water splitting enzyme splits H20 and uses the electrons to replace electrons removed from the reaction center. Oxygen is produced. |

|
Term
|
Definition
| pump that pumps H+ from stroma to thylakoid thus generating a proton gradient |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
