| 1. |
Membrane-bound structures within chloroplasts that contain chlorophyll and are the site of the light-dependent reactions in photosynthesis. |
| 5. |
The series of reactions in photosynthesis that take place in the stroma of chloroplasts and do not require light; these reactions convert carbon dioxide and other compounds into glucose. |
| 7. |
A stack of thylakoids within the chloroplast of plant cells, where light-dependent reactions of photosynthesis take place. |
| 10. |
The green pigment in plants and algae that absorbs light energy used to carry out photosynthesis. |
| 12. |
An organelle found in plant and algae cells where photosynthesis occurs, containing chlorophyll and other pigments. |
| 13. |
A protein that acts as a catalyst to speed up chemical reactions in the body without being consumed in the process. |
| 15. |
A type of chemical reaction that requires the input of energy to proceed, typically absorbing energy from its surroundings. |

| 2. |
Referring to something that occurs or is located within a cell. |
| 3. |
Energy The minimum amount of energy required to start a chemical reaction. |
| 4. |
The fluid-filled space surrounding the thylakoids in chloroplasts, where the Calvin cycle of photosynthesis takes place. |
| 6. |
Referring to something that occurs or is located outside of a cell. |
| 8. |
An energy carrier molecule produced in the light-dependent reactions of photosynthesis and used in the Calvin cycle to help convert carbon dioxide into glucose. |
| 9. |
The process by which plants, algae, and some bacteria convert light energy, water, and carbon dioxide into glucose and oxygen. |
| 11. |
The primary energy carrier in cells, used to power various cellular processes. |
| 14. |
A type of chemical reaction that releases energy, usually in the form of heat. |
