Question

during photosynthesis, cells capture the energy of sunlight using ____ , which is a type of __ .photosynthesis also relies on a compound called __ , which is an electron ____ that accepts and transfers high - energy electrons. word bank: dna nucleotide pigment chlorophyll nadp+ donor stroma sink atp synthase carrier hormone carbohydrate nadph thylakoid glucose source blank 1: blank 2: blank 3: blank 4:

Explanation:

1. Chlorophyll is the molecule in plant cells that absorbs sunlight energy during photosynthesis, and it falls under the category of pigments (light-absorbing molecules).
2. NADP+ acts as an electron carrier in photosynthesis: it accepts high-energy electrons (along with hydrogen ions) to form NADPH, which then transfers these electrons for later reactions in the process.

Answer:

Blank 1: chlorophyll
Blank 2: pigment
Blank 3: NADP+
Blank 4: carrier
