  2. 5. Spectrum of pigments...
  3. 6. microscopic holes in the underside of leaves. allows oxygen to escape, and carbon dioxide to enter.
  4. 11. This is where they open their stomata during the day (more CO2 available during daytime), and go through Calvin Cycle.
  5. 12. organelle where photosynthesis occurs.
  6. 13. the process of using water, carbon dioxide (CO2), and sunlight to produce glucose and oxygen.
  7. 15. absorb sunlight, but do not produce energy directly.
  8. 16. colors that absorb light. Produces energy from the sunlight it absorbs.EX.chlorophyll a

  1. 2. organisms that go through photosynthesis.examples:plants, some protists (like algae or euglena), and some bacteria
  2. 3. the colors of light that the human eye can see.
  3. 4. a jelly-like fluid inside surrounding the thylakoids where "The Calvin Cycle" occurs (mostly in Dark).
  4. 7. membranes inside where "the light-reactions" occur with the Electron Transport Chain.
  5. 8. one billionth of a meter (1/1,000,000,000), used to measure the wavelength of light
  6. 9. in order to conserve H2O, they don't go through Calvin Cycle.
  7. 10. usually refers to xanthophyll and carotene
  8. 14. occurs in the stroma (just outside of the thylakoid)
