13. the chemical reactions that convert carbon dioxide and hydrogen-carrier compounds into glucose
15. stacks of structures called thylakoids
16. a gas of diatomic molecules having the formula H2
17. a colorless, sweet, viscous liquid
18. a cofactor used in anabolic reactions, such as the Calvin cycle
20. a portion of the electromagnetic radiation given off by the Sun

1. a colorless, odorless gas produced by burning carbon and organic compounds and by respiration
2. process by which green plants and some other organisms use sunlight to synthesize foods from carbon dioxide and water
4. colorless, transparent, odorless liquid
