Flashcards

ATP in Photosynthesis

Molecule that provides energy for the light-independent reactions (Calvin cycle).

PGAL

A 3-carbon sugar synthesized during photosynthesis; a precursor to glucose.

Oxygen in Photosynthesis

Released during the light-dependent reactions as water molecules are split.

NADPH

Molecule that carries hydrogen ions and electrons from the light-dependent to the light-independent reactions.
