3. The process by which plants convert light energy into chemical energy to produce glucose
4. light-absorbing molecules used by plants to gather energy from the sun
7. organized or specialized structures within a living cell.
8. electron carrier proteins that shuttle electrons during ATP-generating reactions
10. reactions in photosynthesis that use light energy to produce ATP and NADPH
