LESSON 6- MAKING ENERGY.
Designed to boost confidence and grades!
Chloroplast - Answer: Organelle found in cells of plants and some other organisms that
captures the energy from sunlight and converts it into chemical energy


Mitochondrion - Answer: Cell organelle that converts the chemical energy stored in food
into compounds that are more convenient for the cell to use


Adenosine Triphosphate (ATP) - Answer: Compound used by cells to store and release
energy


Calvin Cycle - Answer: Light-independent reactions of photosynthesis in which energy
from ATP and NADPH is used to build high-energy compounds such as sugar


Chlorophyll - Answer: Principal pigment of plants and other photosynthetic organisms


Electron Transport Chain - Answer: Series of electron carrier proteins that shuttle high-
energy electrons during ATP-generating reactions


Light-Dependent Reactions - Answer: Set of reactions in photosynthesis that use
energy from light to produce ATP and NADPH


Light-Independent Reactions - Answer: Set of reactions in photosynthesis that do not
require light; energy from ATP and NADPH is used to build high=energy compounds
such as sugar; also called the Calvin cycle


NADP+ - Answer: Carrier molecule that transfers high-energy electrons from
chlorophyll to other molecules
