the cellular organelle where photosynthesis takes place

gives organelles a green color

tiny pores found on the surface of a leaf

a thick fluid enclosed by the inner membrane of the chloroplast

• disk-shaped sac in the stroma of a chloroplast
• site of the light reactions of photosynthesis
• arranged in stacks called grana (granum - s)

• CO2 + H2O ---C6H12O6 + O2
• carbon dioxide + water --- glucose + oxygen

• the chemical reactions convert the sun's energy to chemical energy
• takes place in the membranes of thylakoids in the chloroplast
• oxygen is a waste product
• produce ATP and NADPH

• cycle in plants that makes sugar from carbon dioxide, H+ ions, and high-energy electrons carried by NADPH
• does not directly require light to begin
• uses ATP and NADPH to convert carbon dioxide to sugar

the distance between to adjacent waves

range of types of electromagnetic energy from gamma waves to radio waves

chemical compound that determines a substance's color

laboratory technique used to observe the different pigments in a material

cluster of chlorophyll and other molecules in a thylakoid

• a material regenerated in Calvin cycle
• a sugar with five carbons

the process by which carbon moves from inorganic to organic compounds and back

process by which atmospheric gases trap heat close to Earth's surface and prevent it from escaping into space
