ATP
adenosine triphosphate
ADP
adenosine diphosphate
ATP Function
to act as energy for a cellular functions
3 components of ATP
adenine, ribose, 3 phosphate groups
What happens when ATP LOOSES a Phosphate?
Energy is released and it is converted into ADP
What happens when ADP GAINS a Phosphate?
Energy is stored and it converts back to ATP
Photosynthesis
Conversion of light energy from the sun into chemical energy.
Photosynthesis equation
6CO2 + 6H2O + light energy --> C6H12O6 + 6O2
Glucose
A simple sugar that is made during photosynthesis. Acts as "food" for the plant cell.
Light-Dependent Reactions (Light Reactions)
reactions of photosynthesis that use energy from light to break down water produce, oxygen, ATP and NADPH
Light Independent Reactions (Calvin Cycle, Dark Reaction)
reactions of photosynthesis in which energy from the light reaction is used to create glucose
Chloroplast
An organelle found in plant and algae cells where photosynthesis occurs
Thylakoid
A flattened membrane sac inside the chloroplast, used to convert light energy into chemical energy. Where the light-dependent reaction takes place
Stroma
fluid portion of the chloroplast; outside of the thylakoids. Where the light-independent reaction takes place

Verified questions
chemistry
Explain why water has a higher surface tension than benzene, whose molecules are nonpolar.
physics
Light of wavelength $\lambda$ is incident on a slit of width $d$. Under what conditions is the ray approximation valid? Under what circumstances does the slit produce enough diffraction to make the ray approximation invalid?
health
Name four types of hazardous wastes.
chemistry
A nonvolatile organic compound $Z$ was used to make up two solutions. Solution $\mathrm{A}$ contains $5.00 \mathrm{~g}$ of $\mathrm{Z}$ dissolved in $100 \mathrm{~g}$ of water, and solution B contains $2.31 \mathrm{~g}$ of $Z$ dissolved in $100 \mathrm{~g}$ of benzene. Solution $\mathrm{A}$ has a vapor pressure of $754.5 \mathrm{mmHg}$ at the normal boiling point of water, and solution B has the same vapor pressure at the normal boiling point of benzene. Calculate the molar mass of $\mathrm{Z}$ in solutions $\mathrm{A}$ and $\mathrm{B}$ and account for the difference.
