2. a coenzyme that can accept an electron and acts as an electron carrier in the
4. fixation/the initial incorporation of carbon from CO2 into an autotrophic
5. cycle""C3 plant/ a plant that uses the calvin cycle for the initial steps that incorporate CO2
7. of the chloroplast; convert solar energy to chemical energy ATP and
10. biphosphate carboxylase; the enzyme that catalyzes the first step of
13. cell/ in C4 plants, a type of photosynthetic cell arranged into tightly
14. stack of membrane-bounded thylakoids in the chloroplast"
15. cycle/the second of 2 majors stages in photosynthesis, involves fixation of
