Key molecules and organelles of photosynthesis: 1. Chlorophyll: a pigment molecule that absorbs light energy in the process of photosynthesis 2. Carbon dioxide: a molecule that is taken in by plants during photosynthesis and converted into glucose 3. Water: a molecule that is split during the light-dependent reactions of photosynthesis to release oxygen and electrons 4. ATP (adenosine triphosphate): a molecule that stores and transfers energy within cells 5. NADPH: a molecule that carries high-energy electrons during the light-dependent reactions of photosynthesis 6. Thylakoid membranes: organelles within chloroplasts where the light-dependent reactions of photosynthesis take place 7. Stroma: the fluid-filled space within chloroplasts where the light-independent reactions of photosynthesis (Calvin cycle) occur
Key molecules and organelles of cellular respiration: 1. Glucose: a molecule that is broken down during cellular respiration to release energy 2. Oxygen: a molecule that is used as the final electron acceptor in the electron transport chain of cellular respiration 3. ATP (adenosine triphosphate): a molecule that is produced as a result of cellular respiration and is used as a source of energy for cellular processes 4. NADH and FADH2: molecules that carry high-energy electrons to the electron transport chain in cellular respiration 5. Mitochondria: organelles where cellular respiration takes place, including the citric acid cycle and electron transport chain 6. Cytoplasm: the fluid-filled space within cells where the initial stages of cellular respiration (glycolysis) occur 7. Inner mitochondrial membrane: the site of the electron transport chain in cellular respiration, where ATP is produced through oxidative phosphorylation.

Photosynthesis
Key Molecules:
- Chlorophyll: Green pigment that absorbs light energy - Carbon dioxide (CO2): Raw material used for sugar production - Water (H2O): Breaks down to provide electrons and protons - Adenosine triphosphate (ATP): Energy currency of the cell - Nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate (NADPH): Electron carrier - Glucose: Final product of photosynthesis
Key Organelles:
- Chloroplasts: Contain chlorophyll and other molecules necessary for photosynthesis
Cellular Respiration
Key Molecules:
- Glucose: Primary energy source - Oxygen (O2): Required for electron transport chain - ATP: Energy currency of the cell - Nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NADH): Electron carrier - FADH2: Electron carrier - Carbon dioxide (CO2): Waste product
Key Organelles:
- Mitochondria: Primary site of cellular respiration - Cytoplasm: Contains enzymes involved in glycolysis - Krebs cycle: Occurs in the mitochondria - Electron transport chain: Occurs in the inner mitochondrial membrane
