| 5898179899 | Location of Photosynthesis | Chloroplast |  | 1 |
| 5898147310 | Reactants of Photosynthesis | 6H20 + 6CO2 |  | 2 |
| 5898151936 | Products of Photosynthesis | C6H12O6 + 6O2 |  | 3 |
| 5898185242 | Photosynthetic Pigments | Chemicals that absorb light energy and use it to carry out photosynthesis. Contained in thylakoid membranes in chloroplast. Examples are chlorophyll a, chlorophyll b, carotenoids, xanthophylls, and phycobilins. |  | 4 |
| 5898158726 | 2 Reactions of Photosynthesis | Light Dependent Reaction Light Independent Reaction (Calvin Cycle) |  | 5 |
| 5898166632 | Requirements for Light Dependent Reaction | Light Water | | 6 |
| 5898880888 | ATP (adenosine triphosphate) | Main energy source that cells use for most of their work. | 7 | |
| 5898169969 | Products of Light Dependent Reaction | ATP (from ADP) NADPH (from NADP+) 6O2 | | 8 |
| 5898175820 | Location of Light Dependent Reaction | Thylakoid Membrane (inside chloroplast) |  | 9 |
| 5898212793 | 1st Electron Transport Chain | Series of chemical reactions in the thylakoid membrane electrons are passed along with the release of energy, used to construct ATP |  | 10 |
| 5898221522 | 2nd Electron Transport Chain | High-energy electrons are passed to NADP+, creating. NADPH, a high-energy electron carrier. | 11 | |
| 5898851519 | NADPH | An electron carrier involved in photosynthesis. Light drives electrons from chlorophyll to NADP+, forming NADPH, which provides the high-energy electrons for the reduction of carbon dioxide to sugar in the Calvin cycle. | 12 | |
| 5898854269 | Photolysis | In the thylakoid membranes of a chloroplast during light-dependant reactions, two molecules of water are split to form oxygen, hydrogen ions, and electrons. |  | 13 |
| 5898869933 | Calvin Cycle | The process in which carbon dioxide, ATP, and NADPH are turned into glucose, ADP, and NADP+. Also called the "Light Independent Reaction." | 14 | |
| 5898896469 | Photosynthetic Rate | The rate at which plants take in carbon dioxide, water, and the energy from sunlight to produce sugar. | 15 | |
| 5898910212 | Light Intensity vs Photosynthetic Rate | Rate of photosynthesis increases with the light intensity up to a certain amount |  | 16 |
| 5898915514 | Carbon Dioxide Level vs Photosynthetic Rate | Increased levels will stimulate photosynthesis and then it will level off. |  | 17 |
| 5898987850 | Temperature vs Photosynthetic Rate |  | 18 | |
| 5898959085 | Color of Light vs Photosynthetic Rate | Different pigments impact rate of photosynthesis. Generally, green light results in the lowest photosynthetic rate. | | 19 |
