Photosynthesis in plants generally involves the green pigment chlorophyll and generates oxygen as a byproduct.
- Plants need food, carbon dioxide and water. In return they give us oxygen
- Makes me think of a sponge because when you give it a dirty surface it gives you a clean surface. 
- I kind of understand this concept. ]]> 2017-09-28 13:56:29 UTC https://padlet.com/131050017218/1nztohqqcen9/wish/192075251 131050017218 https://padlet.com/131050017218/1nztohqqcen9/wish/193014956 - a simple sugar that is an important energy source in living organisms and is a component of many carbohydrates.
- A simple sugar that makes energy 
- Makes me think of coffee and how some people need it to do stuff in the morning. 
- I kind of understand this topic but need some more understanding.]]> 2017-10-02 14:23:27 UTC https://padlet.com/131050017218/1nztohqqcen9/wish/193014956 131050017218 https://padlet.com/131050017218/1nztohqqcen9/wish/193873578 -  Light is absorbed and the energy is used to drive electrons from water to drive protons across a membrane. 
-  Light is turned into sugars and used for energy. 
- Makes me think of food because in our bodies, food is turned into energy. 
- I really understand this topic and could explain it to the class. ]]> 2017-10-04 14:13:09 UTC https://padlet.com/131050017218/1nztohqqcen9/wish/193873578 131050017218 https://padlet.com/131050017218/1nztohqqcen9/wish/195607041 -  The Calvin cycle is the set of chemical reactions that take place in chloroplasts during photosynthesis. The cycle is light-independent because it takes place after the energy has been captured from sunlight. 
- The reaction that takes place in the chloroplast that uses the energy from the light reactions 
- It reminds me of jello because its squishy 
- I really understand this topic. ]]> 2017-10-10 14:10:24 UTC https://padlet.com/131050017218/1nztohqqcen9/wish/195607041 131050017218 https://padlet.com/131050017218/1nztohqqcen9/wish/195618902 - Short for nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate. A coenzyme that occurs in many living cells and functions as an electron acceptor like NAD but reacts with different metabolites. NADP is similar in structure to NAD but has an extra phosphate group.
- A NAD with an extra P
- Reminds me of a nad, like a bug 
- I barely understand this. ]]> 2017-10-10 14:30:04 UTC https://padlet.com/131050017218/1nztohqqcen9/wish/195618902 131050017218 https://padlet.com/131050017218/1nztohqqcen9/wish/195633399 - Hydrogen ion, strictly, the nucleus of a hydrogen atom separated from its accompanying electron. The hydrogen nucleus is made up of a particle carrying a unit positive electric charge, called a proton. The isolated hydrogen ion, represented by the symbol H ⁺, is therefore customarily used to represent a proton.
- The nucleus of a hydrogen atom 
- Reminds me of an eyeball 
- I kinda understand it but it would be helpful to have more knowledge

- C₂₁H₂₉N₇O₁₇P_3
- Reminds me of a chemical equation. 
- Dont really understand it. ]]> 2017-10-12 14:13:25 UTC https://padlet.com/131050017218/1nztohqqcen9/wish/196438260
