NGSS.HS-LS2-5

contraction of ribulose bisphosphate carboxylase/oxygenase, the enzyme that combines carbon dioxide or oxygen with ribulose bisphosphate to catalyze the first step of photosynthesis carbon fixation or photorespiration, respectively

NGSS.HS-LS2-5

a flattened sac within a chloroplast; contains all of the chlorophyll in a plant, in addition to the electron carriers of photophosphorylation; they stack to form grana

an energy-storage compound containing adenine, ribose, and 3 phosphate groups; When it is formed from ADP, useful energy is stored; when it is broken down (to ADP or AMP), energy is released to drive endergonic reactions

the process of using a proton gradient and ATP synthase to produce ATP

Metabolic processes carried out by green plants and cyanobacteria, by which visible light is trapped and the energy used to convert CO2 into organic compounds. (6CO2 + 6H2O --> light energy --> C6H12O6 + 6O2)

NGSS.HS-LS2-5

A sequence of electron carrier molecules (membrane proteins) that shuttle electrons during the redox reactions that release energy used to make ATP.

NGSS.HS-LS1-7

The first protein complex in the Light-dependent reactions. It is located in the thylakoid membrane of plants, algae and cyanobacteria. The enzyme uses photons of light to energize electrons.

NGSS.HS-LS1-5

The process of generating ATP from ADP and phosphate by means of a proton-motive force generated by the thylakoid membrane of the chloroplast during the light reactions of photosynthesis.

(adenosine diphosphate) The compound that remains when a phosphate group is removed from ATP, releasing energy
