  1. 1. The process by which green plants, algae, and some bacteria convert light energy, usually from the sun, into chemical energy stored in glucose.
  2. 3. A series of biochemical reactions that occur in the chloroplasts of plants during photosynthesis, resulting in the fixation of carbon dioxide into glucose.
  3. 5. Small pores found on the surfaces of leaves and stems that allow for gas exchange (carbon dioxide in, oxygen out).
  4. 6. A green pigment found in the chloroplasts of plants, algae, and cyanobacteria that plays a crucial role in photosynthesis.
  5. 8. A simple sugar that serves as a primary source of energy for cells and is produced during photosynthesis.
