| Question | Answer |
| photolysis | Light energy cutting water. |
| ATP synthases | Membrane-bound active transport proteinthat acts as an enzymes of ATP. |
| electron transfer chains | Array of enzymes, coenzymes, and other proteins through which electrons are transferred step-by-step. |
| stoma | A gap/pores in the lower epidermis of a plant. |
| photosystems | Clusters of 200 to 300 pigments and other molecules that trap energy from the sun (I and II). |
| thylakoid membrane | A third membrane folded in ways that form a single compartment in stroma. |
| chloroplasts | the organeles of photosynthesis in plants and algae. |
| stroma | The semifluid interior in chloroplasts. |
| light-independent reactions | The second reaction stage of photosynthesis; energy from ATP jump-starts reactions that glucose and other carbon hydrates. |
| light-dependent reaction | The first reaction stage of photosynthesis; converts light energy to chemical bond energy. |
| anthocyanin (accessory pigments) | A red-purple pigment. |
| phycobilins (accessory pigments) | Red or blue-green pigments. |
| Xanthophylls (accessory pigments) | Yellow, brown, purple, or blue accessory pigments. |
| carotenoids (accessory pigments) | Absorbs blue-violet ad blue-green wavelengths, and reflect red, orange, and yellow ones. |
| Accessory Pigment | It enhances efficiency of photosynthesis reactions by capturing by capturing additional wavelengths. |
| photons | individual packets of electromagnetic energy traveling in walls. |
| chlorophyll a | The most abundant type or pigment in plants, green algae, and a number of photoautotrophic bacteria. Absorbs red and violent wavelengths. |
| pigments | A class of molecules that absorb photons with particular wavelengths. |
| photosynthesis | Plants making these own food by using sunlight energy, water, and carbon dioxide. |
| heterotrophs | Not self-nourishing; they cannot make their own food. |
| autotrophs | self-nourishing organisms; organisms that makes there own food using environmental energy source and carbon from carbon dioxide. |
