Vocabulary of Photosynthesis

6. Organelle of photosynthesis in plants and some protists.
9. The metabolic pathway by which photoautotrophs capture light energy and use it to make sugars from carbon dioxide and water.
12. Organic molecule that absorbs light from certain wavelengths. Reflected light imparts a characteristic color.
13. Orange and red pigments.
14. Makes organic molecules from inorganic sources via photonsynthesis (light energy) or chemical energy.
15. Distance between crests of two successive waves of radiant energy.

1. Main photosynthetic pigment in plants, algae and cyanobacteria.
2. Reaction in which light energy breaks down a molecule.
3. The semifluid matrix between the thylakoid membrane and the two outer membranes of chloroplasts.
4. Type of reaction.
5. Plant, convert inorganic materials into organic materials using sunlight.
7. Carbon-fixing enzyme of lights independent photosynthesis reactions.
8. A cluster of pigments and proteins that converts light energy to chemical energy in photosynthesis.
10. A chloroplasts inner membrane system, often folded as flattened, that form a continous compartment in the stroma.
11. The electromagnetic energy of light of light is organized this packets.
