1. Conversion of light energy from the sun into chemical energy stored in the bonds of a glucose molecule.
2. reactions of photosynthesis that use energy from light to produce ATP and NADPH
   takes in H2O and gives off O2 as a waste product
   occurs in the thylakoids of the chloroplast
3. AKA Calvin cycle or dark cycle
   series of reactions that do not require light
   uses CO2, H from NADPH, and energy from ATP to build glucose
   occurs in the stroma of the chloroplast
4. carrier molecule that transfers H from H2O to Calvin cycle to build glucose
5. the site of photosynthesis
6. reactant split to begin the light dependent reactions
7. reactant that is used to build glucose in light independent reactions
8. product that is built in the light independent reactions
   molecule that stores chemical energy within the chemical bonds between the atoms
9. product that is formed in the light dependent reactions from the breakdown of water
10. An organism that is able to capture energy from sunlight and transform it into an organic molecule of glucose
    AKA producer
    Plants and plant-like protists
11. An organism that obtains organic food molecules by eating other organisms
    AKA consumer
    Animals, Fungi, animal-like protists, most bacteria
12. Plants
    Plant-like protists
    Must contain a chloroplast
13. ALL organisms MUST perform some type of respiration (aerobic or anaerobic) to convert glucose into ATP
