autotrophs organism that uses energy from sunlight to produce its own food; also called producer heterotrophs organism that obtains energy from food it consumes adenosine triphosphate (ATP) one of the principal chemical compounds that living things use to store and release energy photosynthesis process by which plants and some other organisms use light energy to convert water and carbon dioxide to oxygen and sugars pigment light-absorbing molecule chlorophyll principal pigment of plants and other photosynthetic organisms; captures light energy thylakoid sac like photosynthetic membrane found in chloroplasts photsystem light collecting units of the chloroplast stroma region outside the thylakoid membranes in chloroplasts NADPH(Nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate) one of the carrier molecules that transfer high-energy electrons from chlorophyll to other molecules light-dependent reactions reactions of phyosynthesis that use energy from light to produce ATP and NADPH ATP Synthase large protein that uses energy from H+ ions to bind ADP and phosphate group together to produce ATP Calvin Cycle reactions of photosynthesis in which energy from ATP & NADPH is used to build high-energy compounds such as sugars
