  1. 2. a simple carbohydrate, the form of energy that is carried in your blood and taken up by each of your trillions of cells
  2. 5. Living things that make glucose
  3. 7. the first stage of photosynthesis, takes place in the thylakoid membranes, In the light reactions, energy from sunlight is absorbed by chlorophyll. This energy is temporarily transferred to two molecules: ATP and NADPH. These molecules are used to store the energy for the second stage of photosynthesis.
  4. 8. A plastid, where photosynthesis takes place, contains chlorophyll, surrounded by 2 membranes
  5. 9. green pigment found in chloroplasts

  1. 1. The process in which glucose is made using energy in light
  2. 3. living things that obtain glucose by eating autotrophs or other organisms that eat autotrophs
  3. 4. the fluid surrounding the thylakoids
  4. 6. flat sacs of membrane found in the chloroplast
  5. 8. second stage of photosynthesis, takes place in the stroma of the chloroplast, carbon dioxide is used to produce glucose (sugar) using the energy stored in ATP and NADPH. The energy is released from these molecules when ATP loses phosphate (Pi) to become ADP and NADPH loses hydrogen (H) to become NADP+.
