- 2. An organism deriving its nutritional requirements from complex organic substances.
- 4. The light-independent reactions of photosynthesis are chemical reactions that convert carbon dioxide and other compounds into glucose.
- 5. Any of the minute pores in the epidermis of the leaf or stem of a plant, forming a slit of variable width that allows movement of gases in and out of the intercellular spaces.
- 7. A plastid that contains chlorophyll and in which photosynthesis takes place.

- 1. The process by which green plants and some other organisms use sunlight to synthesize foods from carbon dioxide and water.
- 3. The sequence of reactions by which most living cells generate energy during the process of aerobic respiration.
- 4. The reaction taking place in the chloroplast in which the absorption of a photon leads to the formation of atp and nadph.
- 6. An organic compound composed of adenosine (an adenine ring and a ribose sugar) and three phosphate groups, hence, the name.
- 7. A green pigment, present in all green plants and in cyanobacteria, responsible for the absorption of light to provide energy for photosynthesis.
- 8. An organism that is able to form nutritional organic substances from simple inorganic substances such as carbon dioxide.
