+* Photosynthesis
+6CO_2 + 6H_2 O \rightarrow 6O_2 + C_6 H_{12} O_6
+
+** Key Players
+vascular tissue (xylem and phloem)
+
+stomata
+
+pigment
+
+thylakoid - disc-shaped structures (in chloroplasts) that contain chlorophyll
+
+photosystem - group of pigments and other proteins embedded in thylakoids;
+absorbs on photon
+
+** Two Processes
+Electron shuttling molecule: NADPH
+
+*** Light-dependent reactions
+Directly uses light
+
+Chlorophyll absorbs light
+
+Converts light \rightarrow chemical energy
+
+Makes ATP and NADPH for the Calvin Cycle
+
+Light and H_2 O used
+
+O_2 produced
+
+*** Calvin Cycle
+Produces sugar = "synthesis"
+
+Carbon fixation
+
+Uses ATP and NADPH from the light-dependent reactions
+
+CO_2 used
+
+Glucose produced
+
+** TTQ
+uses water from roots \rightarrow light-dependent reactions
+makes sugar \rightarrow calvin cycle
+uses light directly \rightarrow light-dependent reactions
+occurs in the chloroplast \rightarrow both
+requires chlorophyll \rightarrow both
+uses the products of the light reactions \rightarrow calvin cycle
+uses cardbon dioxide \rightarrow calvin cycle
+produces oxygen \rightarrow light dependent reactions
