Photosythesis

3. | A molecule that absorbs specific wavelengths of light.
6. | An energy-carrying molecule produced during the light reactions.
7. | A particle of light energy absorbed by chlorophyll.
10. | The organelle in plant cells where photosynthesis takes place.
13. | A gas released as a by-product of photosynthesis.
15. | Stacks of thylakoids inside the chloroplast.
16. | The green pigment in plants that absorbs light for photosynthesis.
17. | A molecule that carries high-energy electrons used in the Calvin cycle.
18. CYCLE | The series of reactions that use carbon dioxide to produce glucose.
19. | A substance absorbed by plant roots that is needed for photosynthesis.

1. | An organism that makes its own food using light or chemical energy.
2. ENERGY | Energy from the sun that powers the process of photosynthesis.
4. DIOXIDE | A gas taken in by plants and used to make glucose during photosynthesis.
5. REACTIONS | The stage of photosynthesis that captures sunlight and produces energy molecules.
7. | The process plants use to convert light energy into chemical energy (glucose).
8. | Membrane structures inside chloroplasts where the light reactions occur.
9. | A sugar produced during photosynthesis that plants use for energy.
11. | The fluid-filled space in the chloroplast where the Calvin cycle occurs.
12. INDEPENDENT REACTIONS | Stage three of photosynthesis; another name for the Calvin Cycle.
