Glucose C6H12O6 - a single sugar which is produced in photosynthesis. ATP An activated nucleotide found in all living organisms, which is produced during respiration and acts as an energy carrier. ATP is produced during the light-dependent reaction of photosynthesis. metabolism the chemical processes that occur within a living organism in order to maintain life. Photosynthesis A complex metabolic pathway involving many intermediate reactions. Some energy in light is conserved in the form of chemical bonds. There are three main stages: capturing the light energy, the light-dependent reaction and light-independent reaction. Photolysis Light energy splits 2 water molecules into 4 electrons, 4 hydrogen ions (protons) and an oxygen molecule (light-dependent reaction). These electrons replace the electrons lost from a chlorophyll molecule when light strikes it.
