Photosynthesis

2. - a process by which molecules of a solvent tend to pass through a semipermeable membrane from a less concentrated solution into a more concentrated one, thus equalizing the concentrations on each side of the membrane
5. - the vascular tissue in plants that conducts sugars and other metabolic products downward from the leaves.
6. - a plastid that contains chlorophyll and in which photosynthesis takes place.
8. green pigment, present in all green plants and in cyanobacteria, responsible for the absorption of light to provide energy for photosynthesis. Its molecule contains a magnesium atom held in a porphyrin ring.
9. - the physical energy resulting from electromagnetic radiation, usually observed as it radiates from a source into the surrounding environment.
10. - the chemical breakdown of a substance by bacteria, yeasts, or other microorganisms, typically involving effervescence and the giving off of heat.

1. - the process by which green plants and some other organisms use sunlight to synthesize foods from carbon dioxide and water. Photosynthesis in plants generally involves the green pigment chlorophyll and generates oxygen as a byproduct.
3. - Stomata are tiny, microscopic and critical for photosynthesis. Thousands of them dot on the surface of the plants.
4. - the vascular tissue in plants that conducts water and dissolved nutrients upward from the root and also helps to form the woody element in the stem.
7. - a thin sheet of tissue or layer of cells acting as a boundary, lining, or partition in an organism.
