autotroph organisms such as plants which make their own food heterotroph organisms such as animals that cannot use the suns energy directly adenosine triphosphate One of the principal chemical compounds that living things use to store and release energy photosynthesis plants use the energy of sunlight to convert water and carbon dioxide into oxygen and high-energy carbohydrates-sugars and startches pigment Light-absorbing molecule chlorophyll principle pigment of plants and other photosynthetic organisms; captures light energy thylakoid saclike photosynthetic membrane found in chloroplasts stroma the region outside the thylakoid membranes NADP+ one of the carrier molecules that transfers high-energy electrons from chlorophyll to other molecules light-dependent reactions reactions of photosynthesis that use energy from light to produce ATP and NADPH ATP synthase large protein that uses energy from H+ ions to bind ADP and a phosphate group together to produce ATP Calvin Cycle reactions of photosynthesis in which energy from ATP and NADPH is used to build high-energy compounds such as sugars
