Photosynthesis

4. process in which solar energy is chemically captured by chlorophyll and through a set of controlled chemical reactions the energy ends up stored in the bonds of carbohydrates
5. a stack of thylakoids in the chloroplast
7. first step in photosynthesis; water is split creating ATP, NADPH, and oxygen
9. green pigment in the thylakoids of chloroplasts that absorb light energy used to carry out the light reactions of photosynthesis
11. plants that trap carbon dioxide at night in order to keep stomata closed during the day to prevent water loss; typically desert plants
12. producer; makes food through chemo or photosynthesis; ex - plants and phytoplankton
13. organelle where photosynthesis takes place

1. viscous fluid surrounding the thylakoids in a chloroplast; where the Calvin Cycle occurs
2. processes in which energy changes from one form to another form while some of the energy is lost to the environment.
3. second step of photosynthesis; used ATP, NADPH, and carbon dioxide to produce glucose
6. membranes in the chloroplast; contain chlorophyll and accessory pigments; where the light reactions occur
8. supplies the energy for cellular work (chemical, mechanical, transport)
10. consumer; an organisms that cannot make its own food
13. plants that efficiently trap carbon dioxide in hot, dry, high-light environments
