Organisms that use energy from sunlight's in inorganic substances to make organic compounds.
The process used my autotrophs to convert light energy from the sun into chemical energy in the form of organic compounds, primarily carbohydrates.
Animals and other organisms that must get energy from food instead of directly from sunlight or inorganic substances
A series of chemical reactions linked in which the product of one reaction is consumed in the next reaction.
A process when CO2 and water are produced, thus the products of photosynthesis and are reactants in cellular respiration.
First state of photosynthesis where light energy absorbed from the sun is converted to chemical energy, which is temporarily stored in ATP and the energy carrier molecule NADPH.
Organic compounds are formed using CO2 and the chemical energy stored in ATP and NADPH.
The result of a light passing through a prism in an array of colors ranging from red at one end to violet at the other is called the visible spectrum.
Other compounds found on the thylakoid membrane including yellow, orange, and brown that function as necessary pigments.
Cluster of pigment molecules and the proteins that the pigment molecules are embedded in. Slip into two groups (photosystem one and two) that contain similar kinds of pigments but have different roles in light reactions.
