Chlorophyll

Function: Absorbs sunlight and converts it into chemical energy Location: Located in the thylakoid membranes of chloroplasts

NADP+ to NADPH

Function: Carrier molecule that transfers high-energy electrons from chlorophyll to other molecules Location: Occurs in the stroma but starts in the thylakoid membranes

Stroma

Function: Site of the Calvin cycle where sugar is synthesized Location: Fluid-filled space surrounding the thylakoids in chloroplasts

Ribulose-1,5-bisphosphate (RuBP)

Function: Molecule that starts the Calvin cycle by combining with CO2 Location: Found in the stroma of the chloroplasts where it is regenerated in the Calvin cycle

Thylakoid

Function: Contains chlorophyll, where light-dependent reactions take place Location: Flattened sacs inside the chloroplasts, arranged in stacks called grana
