Photosynthesis

1. Cellular organelles where cellular respiration takes place, providing energy for various cell activities
5. the stage of photosynthesis where carbon dioxide is converted into glucose
11. A complex carbohydrate that makes up the cell walls of plants
13. a crucial ingredient in photosynthesis, absorbed by plant roots from the soil
15. Small openings on the surface o0f leaves that allow for the exchange of gases including carbon dioxide and oxygen
17. the synthesis of production of glucose during photosynthesis
19. the green pigment in plant cells that captures sunlight and plays a crucial role in photosynthesis
20. a membrane-bound compartment within the chloroplast where stage 1 reaction of photosynthesis take place
21. the energy from the sun that is absorbed by chlorophyll to initiate the photosynthesis process
23. the initial stage of photosynthesis where light energy is captured and converted into chemical energy
24. the process by which cells release energy from glucose

2. a gas produced by as a byproduct of photosynthesis, released into the air
3. an organism that obtains its food by consuming other organisms
4. a gas used by plants during photosynthesis, taken from the air
6. Molecules that absorb specific wavelengths of light, such as chlorophyll
7. the process by which green plants and some other organisms use sunlight to synthesize foods with the help of chlorophyll
8. a general term for carbohydrates like glucose produced during photosynthesis
9. vascular tissue responsible for transporting sugars produced during photosynthesis to other parts of the plant
10. an organism that produces its own food through photosynthesis
12. the process by which plants break down glucose to release energy for their own use
14. (Adenosine Triphosphate) the primary energy currency of cells, used to power various cellular processes.
16. a type of sugar produced by plants during photosynthesis, used as a source of energy
18. Vascular tissue responsible for transporting water and minerals from the roots to the rest of the plant
22. (nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate) a molecule that carries high-energy electrons produced during the light-dependent reactions
