Term
photosynthesis is a process whereby
Definition
plants, algae (which are protists), and certain bacteria transform light energy into chemical energy, using carbon dioxide and water as a starting materials
Term
the chemical energy produced (photosynthesis) is
Definition
stored in the bonds of sugar molecules
Term
chloroplasts (Def)
Definition
plants and algae occurs within light absorbing organelles

Term
photosynthesis takes the exhaust of cellular respiration and rearrange it's ______ to produce food and oxygen. it's a chemical transformation that requires much energy, and sunlight absorbe by _______ provides that energy
Definition
atom, chlorophyll
Term
cellular respiration is a process of __________
Definition
electron transfer or reduction and oxidation (redox)
Term

Definition
oxygen, water ,ATP
Term
in photosynthesis _________ are boosted "uphill" and added to _________ to produce sugar
Definition
electrons, carbon dixoide
Term
hydrogen is moved along with the________, so the redox process takes the form of _________ transfer _______ to ______ . this transfer of hydrogen requires the_______ to split water molecules into hydrogen and oxgyen. the______ is transferred along with _____ to______to form sugar. The oxygen escapes through______ into the atmosphere as oxygen, a _______of photosynthesis
Definition
electrons, hydrogen, water , carbon dioxide, chloroplast, hydrogen, electrons, carbon dioxide, stomata, waste product
Term
photosynthesis occurs in two stages
Definition
light reactions and the calvin cycle
Term
light reactions (Def)
Definition
chlorophyll in the thylakoid membranes absorbs solar energy, which is then converted to the chemical energy of ATP and NADPH
Term
NADPH is a
