Photosynthesis

3. The process by which plants use sunlight, water, and carbon dioxide to make food (glucose) and oxygen.
6. The part of photosynthesis (also known as the Calvin Cycle) that doesn't need light and uses the energy made in the light-dependent phase to make glucose.
7. A type of sugar that plants make during photosynthesis; it is used as energy for growth and development.
8. A gas in the air that plants use for photosynthesis.
9. A part of plant cells where photosynthesis takes place.
11. Membrane structures inside chloroplasts where the light-dependent reactions of photosynthesis occur.
15. An organism that makes its own food (e.g., plants, which use photosynthesis).

1. A gas released as a byproduct of photosynthesis, which is needed by animals for breathing.
2. The process in photosynthesis that requires sunlight to make energy.
4. The main source of energy of all living things.
5. The green pigment in plants that captures light energy for photosynthesis.
10. The fluid-filled space inside the chloroplast where the light-independent reactions (Calvin Cycle) take place.
12. An organism that gets its food by eating other organisms (e.g., animals).
13. A liquid that plants absorb through their roots, used in photosynthesis to make glucose and oxygen.
14. A molecule that stores energy, produced during photosynthesis and used by cells for various functions.
