adenine
adenosine triphosphate
ribose- a 5 carbon sugar
ATP (tri) is like a charged battery
ADP (di) is like the empty battery.
ribose (a five carbon sugar)
When the P (phosphate) is released from ATP,
then energy is released. The left over ADP can
be recharged by adding another P.
3 phosphate groups
ATP, NADPH (from sunlight) = light dependent reactions
glucose (not from the sun) = light independent reactions a.k.a. Calvin cylce
granum
ADP and NADP+,
and water
ATP and NADPH
(high energy)
NADPH and ATP
O2 Oxygen gas
thylakoid = many grana
Sugar
CO2 carbon dioxide
stroma = the space outside the thylakoids
from the atmosphere.
in the thylakoids
ATP and NADPH
in the stroma
