  1. 3. photosynthesis, plants trap light energy with their leaves. Plants use the energy of the sun to change water and carbon dioxide into a sugar called glucose.
  2. 8. Organelle in plants where photosynthesis occurs.
  3. 10. dioxide the series of processes by which carbon compounds are interconverted in the environment, involving the incorporation of carbon dioxide into living tissue by photosynthesis and its return to the atmosphere through respiration, the decay of dead organisms, and the burning of fossil fuels.
  4. 11. is the process in which green plants, algae, and a group of bacteria called cyanobacteria use sunlight to make their own food.

  1. 1. Oxygen (O2) is evolved during photosynthetic electron transport when water is split by the oxygen-evolving complex to provide protons and electrons to the chloroplastic electron chain.
  2. 2. Plants use the energy of the sun to change water and carbon dioxide into a sugar called glucose
  3. 4. the organelles responsible for photosynthesis
  4. 5. Plants use some of the glucose they’ve made and store the rest. The oxygen is released into the air.
  5. 6. is found in virtually all photosynthetic organisms, including green plants, cyanobacteria, and algae
  6. 7. within the plant cell, the water is oxidized, meaning it loses electrons, while the carbon dioxide is reduced, meaning it gains electrons.
  7. 9. Photosynthesis is the process in which light energy is converted to chemical energy in the form of sugars.
