Photosynthesis

3. The process that helps plants make their own food
4. chemical compounds which reflect only certain wavelengths of visible light.
7. the source of energy for use and storage at the cellular level.
8. the functional units for photosynthesis.
10. They are the site of the light-dependent reactions of photosynthesis.
12. absorb light—usually sunlight and help give the plants the green color.
13. use light energy to make two molecules needed for the next stage of photosynthesis.

1. a series of biochemical reactions in photosynthesis not requiring light to proceed.
2. acts as the final acceptor of the photosynthetic electron transport chain.
5. catalyzes the light-driven synthesis of ATP.
6. the fluid-filled internal space of the chloroplasts which encircle the grana and the thylakoids.
9. chain, a series of four protein complexes that couple redox reactions, creating an electrochemical gradient that leads to the creation of ATP in a complete system named oxidative phosphorylation.
11. the series of chemical reactions of plants by turning or reducing carbon dioxide into glucose.
