| 7913921064 | water | this molecule splits and allows for an electron to be bumped up to the primary electron acceptor in photosystem II |  | 15 |
| 7913921065 | photosystem II | the location of water splitting |  | 16 |
| 7913921066 | p700 | this is the special chlorophyll that is located in photosystem I |  | 17 |

| 7913921068 | chemoautotroph | organisms that produce their own food using inorganic materials - thermophilic bacteria |  | 19 |
| 7913921069 | guard cells | responsible for opening and closing stomata | 20 | |
| 7913921073 | Electron Transport Chain | A sequence of electron carrier molecules (membrane proteins) that shuttle electrons during the redox reactions that release energy used to make ATP. | 21 | |
| 7913921074 | ATP Synthase | Large protein that uses energy from H+ ions to bind ADP and a phosphate group together to produce ATP |  | 22 |
| 7913921075 | Chemiosmosis | Process by which a Hydrogen pump pumps protons into the thylakoid membrane. H+ passively flows through the ATP synthase which leads to the creation of ATP. |  | 23 |
