  3. 6. are the active proteins that can catalyze
  4. 7. a plastid containing the green pigment called the chlorophyll.
  5. 10. the food and manufacturing process in green plants that combines carbon dioxide and water in the presence of light to make sugar and oxygen.
  6. 11. the site of respiration.
  7. 13. a result of physiological processes of the plant.
