  10. A substance that absorbs light, like chlorophyll, which helps plants capture energy from the sun.
  11. Cycle: A series of chemical reactions in photosynthesis that turn carbon dioxide into glucose (sugar).
  12. The first step in breaking down glucose to make energy; happens in the cytoplasm.

  1. A process that doesn’t require oxygen to produce energy (like anaerobic respiration or fermentation).
  2. A molecule that carries electrons in photosynthesis, and when it gains electrons, it becomes NADPH.
  3. The green pigment in plants that absorbs sunlight for photosynthesis.
  4. A molecule that is similar to ATP but has less energy (ATP becomes ADP when it loses a phosphate group).
  5. Respiration: The process by which cells break down sugar (glucose) to get energy in the form of ATP.
  6. A process that requires oxygen to produce energy (like aerobic respiration).
  7. The process by which plants make their own food using sunlight, water, and carbon dioxide.
