Photosynthesis

5. the first stage of photosynthesis, occurring in the thylakoid membranes of chloroplasts
7. membranes inside where the light-reactions occur
11. occurs during the day, but the CO₂ capture happens at night
12. organelle where photoynthesis occurs
13. tiny pores, usually on the underside of leaves
16. one billionth of a meter used to measure the wavelength of light
17. color that absorb light produce energy from the sunlight it absorbs
18. occurs in the stroma need atp, co2 and hydrogen from NADPH

1. serves as the fundamental energy source and building block for plants
2. anything that goes through Photosynthesis
3. what's the colors of light that the human eye can see
4. it's the source of electrons for the electron transport chain (replacing those lost by chlorophyll)
6. microscopic holes in the under leaves
8. provide the initial energy to excite electrons in chlorophyll, powering the light-dependent reactions that produce ATP and NADPH, which then fuel the Calvin Cycle (light-independent reactions) to synthesize glucose from co2
9. a stack of thylakoids, which are disc-shaped membranes inside the chloroplasts of plant cells
10. crucial as the carbon source in the light-independent reactions (Calvin Cycle) of photosynthesis
11. the universal pathway in photosynthesis that converts CO2 into sugars
12. an adaptation that concentrates CO2 for the Calvin cycle, especially in hot climates, by spatially separating initial carbon fixation in mesophyll cells from the cycle itself in bundle sheath cells
14. the pigment that gives plants and algae their green color
15. as a byproduct
19. using light energy, then acts as the primary energy currency to power the light-independent reactions
