Study Notes
Photosynthesis
- Photosynthesis: The process plants use sunlight to create food.
- Autotrophs: Organisms that make their own food (e.g., plants).
- Heterotrophs: Organisms that consume others for energy (e.g., animals).
- Chloroplast: Organelles in plants where photosynthesis occurs.
- Chlorophyll: Pigment that captures light energy in plants.
- Thylakoids: Area within chloroplasts where light-dependent reactions occur.
- Calvin Cycle: Area within chloroplasts where the Calvin cycle takes place, producing glucose.
- Light-dependent reactions: Use light to split water and oxygen.
- Water: Split in the light-dependent reaction to create hydrogen and oxygen.
- ATP: A product of photosynthesis; energy storage molecule.
- Glucose: A product of photosynthesis; energy storage molecule.
- Carbon dioxide: Used in the Calvin cycle to create glucose.
