|
Thylakoids
|
Sac like photosynthetic membranes, proteins in the thylakoid membrane organize chlorophill into clusters called photosystems
|
|
Stroma
|
Area outside of thylakoid membrane
|
|
ATP Adenine Triphosphate
|
Provides energy to build energy containing sugars from low energy compounds
adenine, ribose, and 3 phosphates. Phosphates are key to storing and releasing energy

Organisms that can make their own food. lik plants
|
|
Calvin Cycle
|
Uses 6 molecules of CO2 to produce a single 6 carbon sugar molecule. removes CO2 from the atmosphere and turns out sugars
