LEAF STRUCTURE AND PHOTOSYNTHESIS

2. cells located in the middle of a plants leaves that store energy and are loosely arranged to allow gas exchange
5. Part of photosynthesis that uses energy absorbed during the light-dependent reactions to synthesize carbohydrates
9. specialized ground tissue that makes up the bulk of most leaves; performs most of a plant's photosynthesis
10. the compartment within the stroma; contains the grana
13. cycle in plants that makes sugar from carbon dioxide, H+ ions, and high-energy electrons carried by NADPH
14. use light energy to convert carbon dioxide and water to carbon compounds and oxygen in a process similar to that used by green plants
16. cluster of chlorophyll and other molecules in a thylakoid
18. any of a group of green pigments found in photosynthetic organisms
19. an outer layer of cells designed to provide protection
20. electron carrier that provides high-energy electrons for photosynthesis

1. A waxy covering on the surface of stems and leaves that acts as an adaptation to prevent desiccation in terrestrial plants.
3. thick fluid contained in the inner membrane of a chloroplast
4. the synthesis of organic compounds from carbon dioxide, such as in photosynthesis
6. The tightly packed photosynthetic cell found just under the epidermus in many leaves.
7. A flattened membrane sac inside the chloroplast, used to convert light energy to chemical energy.
8. Raw material from which plants and other producers assemble glucose...this molecule is a product of the calvin cycle.
11. a particle of electromagnetic radiation having zero mass and carrying a quantum of energy
12. the small openings on the undersides of most leaves through which oxygen and carbon dioxide can move
15. process by which plants use the sun's energy to convert water and carbon dioxide into sugars
17. A stacked portion of the thylakoid membrane in the chloroplast. Grana function in the light reactions of photosynthesis
