Photosynthesis Vocab

3. The primary electron acceptor donates the electrons to the first of a series of molecules located in the thylakoid membrane
4. The solution surrounding the grana
6. Located on the undersurface of leaves; small pores where plants rapidly lose water
7. The incorporation of CO2 into organic compounds
10. Organelles found in the cells of a plant and algae
12. An alternate pathway that enables plants to fix CO2 into four-carbon-compounds
14. Animals and other organisms that must get energy from food instead of directly from sunlight or inorganic substances
17. Found inside the inner membrane and are arranged as flattened sacs
18. Function as accessory pigments, and contain yellow, orange, and brown
19. Reactions Reactions Light energy (absorbed from the sun) is converted to chemical energy, which is temporarly stored in ATP and the energy carrier molecule NADPH

1. Each cluster of pigment molecules and proteins that the pigment molecules are embedded in
2. Thylakoids that connect and layer together
5. Organisms that use energy from sunlight or chemical bonds in organic substances to make organic compounds
7. Relies on a concentration gradient of proteins accorss the thylakoid membrane
8. Converts light energy from the sun into chemical energy using organic compounds
9. A water-conserving pathway to open their stoma at night and close it during the day
11. A series of enzyme- assisted chemical reactions that produce a three- carb- sugar
13. The acceptor of the electrons lost from chlorophyll a is a molecule in the thylakoid membranr
15. Compounds that absorb light
16. The most important pigment, and there are several types of them
