photosynthesis

3. process by which plants and some other organisms use light energy to convert water and carbon dioxide into oxygen and high-energy carbohydrates such as sugars and starches
8. nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate, temporarily stores the energized electrons
9. fixation incorporating CO₂ from the atmosphere into organic molecules from the chloroplast
10. The process of generating ATP from ADP and phosphate by means of a proton-motive force generated by the thylakoid membrane of the chloroplast during the light reactions of photosynthesis.
13. a molecule that absorbs certain wavelengths of light
14. an organism that depends on other's complex organic substances for nutrition.

1. organism capable of synthesizing its own food from CO₂ and other inorganic raw materials. The producers.
2. plants that use energy from sunlight to convert carbon dioxide and water to carbon compounds.
4. microscopic pores, help CO₂ enter the cell and O₂ exit.
5. cycle carbon fixation using energy from ATP and NADPH from the light reactions to produce a three carbon sugar, happens in stroma.
6. Ribulose biphosphate carboxylase, an enzyme that fixes CO₂ together with RuBP.
7. the green pigment located within chloroplasts. It absorbs light energy to drive the synthesis of food molecules in the chloroplast.
11. reactions the steps of photosynthesis that convert solar energy to chemical energy. Light absorbed by chlorophyll drives a transfer of electrons and hydrogen from water to an acceptor, called NADP⁺. give off O₂. Happen in thylakoid or in chloroplast in eukaryotic cells.
12. thick fluid contained in the inner membrane of a chloroplast, surrounding thylakoids membranes.
