Photosynthesis

3. The green pigment found in chloroplasts that absorbs light energy from the sun.
4. Tiny pores on the surface of leaves that allow carbon dioxide to enter and oxygen to exit.
8. The process by which moisture is carried through plants from roots to small pores on the underside of leaves, where it changes to vapor and is released to the atmosphere.

1. The simple sugar produced during photosynthesis that serves as the primary food source for the plant.
2. The fluid-filled space surrounding the thylakoids where the light-independent (Calvin Cycle) reactions happen.
3. The specific organelle within a plant cell where the entire process of photosynthesis takes place.
5. A high-energy molecule (Adenosine Triphosphate) that captures and stores energy for use in the plant's cellular processes.
6. The process of using light energy to split water molecules into oxygen, protons, and electrons.
7. Cycle The set of chemical reactions that take place in the stroma to convert carbon dioxide into glucose.
8. Flattened sac-like membranes inside the chloroplast where the light-dependent reactions occur.
