Photosynthesis

The process by which green plants, algae, and certain bacteria transform light energy into chemical energy, producing oxygen and glucose from carbon dioxide and water.

Light-Dependent Reactions

The phase of photosynthesis where sunlight is absorbed by chlorophyll, resulting in the production of ATP and NADPH, which are then used in the Calvin cycle.

NADP+

Nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate, a coenzyme involved in redox reactions in cells, especially in photosynthesis.

ADP

Adenosine diphosphate, a molecule involved in cellular energy transfer, acting as a precursor to ATP during cellular respiration.
