|
Definition
| the disc shaped stacks inside the chloroplast |
|
|
Term
|
Definition

|
|
Term
|
Definition
| group of proteins that shuttle electrons from carrier to carrier,releaseing energy with each step.The electron transport chain links photosystem one and two together and stores potential energy used in ATP synthesis. A second transport chain extending from photsystem one ends with the production fo NADPH |
