Photosynthesis: An Overview

It stores energy for later use

It transfers energy from food breakdown to cell processes

It is a type of food

It is not involved in energy transfer

The molecule is completely used up.

An adenine, ribose, and two phosphates attached together.

Nothing changes and it remains Adenosine Triphosphate.

ATP breaks into its three main parts.

To absorb sunlight

To release oxygen

To capture carbon dioxide

To produce glucose

Absorb specific wavelengths(color) of visible light for energy.

Absorb CO₂ in the Stroma to create sugar.

Transports e^- in the electron transport chain.

Transports energy between plant cells.

To accept high-energy electrons

To release energy as heat

To transfer electrons to chlorophyll

To store energy in glucose
