Photosynthesis

2. The green pigment in plants that absorbs light energy for photosynthesis.
6. A gas produced by plants during photosynthesis and released into the air.
9. The substances produced by the chemical reaction in photosynthesis, notably glucose and oxygen.
11. The starting materials for photosynthesis, specifically water and carbon dioxide.
12. The main sites of photosynthesis in most plants.
14. The cell organelle where photosynthesis takes place.

1. A type of sugar made by plants during photosynthesis, serving as an energy source.
3. The process by which green plants use sunlight to synthesize foods from carbon dioxide and water.
4. What sunlight is converted into during photosynthesis, stored as chemical compounds.
5. A membrane-bound compartment inside chloroplasts and cyanobacteria. They are the site of the light-dependent reactions of photosynthesis.
7. A gas taken in by plants from the air and used to make glucose during photosynthesis.
8. Absorbed by plant roots and needed along with carbon dioxide to make food in photosynthesis.
10. The main source of energy for photosynthesis.
13. Tiny openings on the underside of a leaf that allow gases in and out.
15. An organism that produces its own food from inorganic substances, using light or chemical energy.
