Term
|
Definition
| organisms that convert solar energy to chemical energy in the form of ATP and the reduced coenzyme NADPH |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
| electron and hydrogen carrier for a large number of anabolic pathways and is closely related to NADH |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
| organisms that acquire energy from sunlight but depend on organic sources of reduced carbon |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
| organisms that use solar energy to synthesize energy-rich organic molecules from simple inorganic starting materials such as CO2 and water |
|
|
Term
| energy transduction reactions |
|
Definition
| light energy is captured by chlorophyll molecules and converted to chemical energy in the form of ATP and NADPH. the ATP and NADOH generated byt he energy transduction reactions subsequently provide energy and reducing power |
|
|
Term
| carbon assimilation reactions |
|
Definition
| also known as carbon fixation reactions. known as the calvin cycle. fully oxidized carbon atoms from carbon dioxide are fixed (reduced and covalently joined), forming carbohydrates |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
| include light harvesting, electron transport to NADPH with simultaneous proton pumping and ATP synthesis |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
| includes the calvin cycle and starch biosynthesis in the chloroplast stroma, plus sucrose biosynthesis in the cytosol |
