Acknowledgements
The script, Life of Ps was made possible by my AP Biology teacher’s assignment. If not for her, I would never have sat down and composed a four page script about Photosynthesis. I would also like to thank my supporting family for listening to my complaints and frustrations throughout this process. My gratitude goes out to the AP Bio Facebook group as well, for answering all the questions I had about Photosynthesis.
Thank you all very much.

Biographies
Main characters (Alphabetically)
Calvin Cycle: Three phases occur here: carbon fixation, reduction, and regeneration
Chlorophylls A (P680 and P700): reflects green light, and absorbs red and blue light to being the process of photosynthesis
Electrons: transported through the Electron Transport Chain for the production of ATP and NADPH
Glucose: ATP from the Light Reactions are used, with the addition of hydrogen ions to CO2 to make glucose.
Narrator: Narrates the play
Thylakoid: interconnected sacs and membranes within the chloroplast that contain enzymes
