3. a chemical found in the thylakoids of chloroplasts. It is responsible for absorbing light energy in photosynthesis
6. the process in which molecules are broken down by the action of light
7. a membrane-bound organelle only found in plant and photoautotroph cells that is the site of photosynthesis
8. a flattened sac-like structure housed inside the chloroplast. Each thylakoid is made up of a chlorophyll-containing membrane enclosing a lumen. Thylakoids are the location of the light-dependent stage of photosynthesis
10. the first stage of photosynthesis, where light energy splits water molecules into oxygen and hydrogen inside the thylakoid membranes
12. the fluid substance that makes up the interior of chloroplasts. It is the site of the light-independent stage of photosynthesis
15. the process of capturing light energy to power the production of glucose and oxygen from carbon dioxide and water

1. an organism capable of undertaking photosynthesis
2. a small pore on the leaf’s surface that opens and closes to regulate gas exchange
4. the second stage of photosynthesis where carbon dioxide is used to form glucose in the stroma of a chloroplast.
5. a plant cell type found in leaves that contain large amounts of chloroplasts
9. adenosine triphosphate, a high energy molecule that, when broken down, provides energy for cellular processes
11. a coenzyme that is a proton (H+) and electron carrier in photosynthesis
13. a stack of thylakoids
14. vascular tissue in plants responsible for transporting water and minerals from the roots to the leaves
