- 2. A green pigment, present in all green plants and in cyanobacteria, responsible for the absorption of light to provide energy for photosynthesis.
- 3. An organism deriving its nutritional requirements from complex organic substances.
- 6. Independent The light-independent reactions of photosynthesis are chemical reactions that convert carbon dioxide and other compounds into glucose.
- 7. The process by which green plants and some other organisms use sunlight to synthesize foods from carbon dioxide and water.
- 9. Cycle The sequence of reactions by which most living cells generate energy during the process of aerobic respiration.
