My phenomenal vocab by IsaiasEstrada https://padlet.com/131050017695/ea54box4bwws Photosynthesis en-us 2017-09-27 15:35:51 UTC 2025-04-21 17:17:18 UTC hello@padlet.com Photosynthesis 131050017695 https://padlet.com/131050017695/ea54box4bwws/wish/191728422 the process by which green plants and some other organisms use sunlight to synthesize foods from carbon dioxide and water.
Photosynthesis in plants generally involves the green pigment chlorophyll and generates oxygen as a byproduct.

In my own words it is the process in which plants turn sunlight into glucose and waste.
Photosynthesis makes me think of oxygen and carbon-dioxide
I understand what photosynthesis does I get it.

In my own words glucose is a simple carbohydrate used by plants as energy.
Glucose makes me think of sugar.
I completely understand this topic.

In my own word light reaction light reaction is when light is turned into ATP which helps make glucose.
This makes me think of Photosynthesis 
I understand this topic but, I would not be a person capable of teaching this.

The cycle is light-independent because it takes place after the energy has been captured from sunlight.

In my own words this is the chemical reaction that happens inside plants. 
This makes me think of a washing machine 
I understand this but, could not teach it.

A co-enzyme 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.

In my own words it is the electron acceptor in plants
This makes me think of a bouncer.
I somewhat understand this topic]]> 2017-09-27 16:03:41 UTC https://padlet.com/131050017695/ea54box4bwws/wish/191741731 NADPH 131050017695 https://padlet.com/131050017695/ea54box4bwws/wish/191743528 Nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate, abbreviated NADP+or, in older notation, TPN (triphosphopyridine nucleotide), is a cofactor used in anabolic reactions, such as lipid and nucleic acid synthesis, which require NADPH as a reducing agent. NADPH is the reduced form of NADP+.

In my own words nadph is a main chemical used in photosynthesis.
This makes me think of Math
I somewhat understand this topic but still, need more info on the topic.

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.

In my own words a hydrogen ion is a hydrogen without a electron.
This makes me think two peas in a pod but, only one pea is there.
I would be able to teach this topic as it is easy to understand.
