| carrier molecule that accepts and holds 2 high-energy electrons along with a hydrogen ion | ||
| reactions that require light | ||
| protein in cell membrane that spans the membrane and allow H+ ions to pass through it | ||
| when plants use the energy that ATP and NADPH contain to build high-energy compounds that can be stored for a long time |
