| 5406106435 | photoautotrophs | organisms that produce their own food using light energy - plants, protists, and algae | 0 | |
| 5406106436 | mesophyll | inner tissue of a leaf, contain many chloroplasts | 1 | |
| 5406106437 | stroma | fluid that fills the inner area of a chloroplast | 2 | |
| 5406106438 | thylakoids | found in stacks in the chloroplast where the light reactions occur. Disk-shaped sacks. | 3 | |
| 5406106439 | grana | stacks of thylakoids | 4 | |
| 5406106440 | chlorophyll | pigment that absorbs light energy to power the light reactions of photosynthesis | 5 | |
| 5406106441 | stomata | pores in the epidermis of a leaf that allow water to leave the plant and carbon dioxide to enter it | 6 | |
| 5406106442 | light dependent reactions | reactions that use water to create ATP and NADPH for use in the calvin cycle | 7 | |
| 5406106443 | NADP+ | an electron acceptor that is reduced and is used to fuel the calvin cycle | 8 | |
| 5406106444 | calvin cycle | the series of reactions where ATP and NADPH are used to form G3P which is then used to form glucose and other organic molecules | 9 | |
| 5406106445 | carbon fixation | reaction that uses co2 to make PGA (involves enzyme Rubisco) | 10 | |
| 5406106446 | absorption spectrum | the range of wavelengths absorbed by a particular pigment | 11 | |
| 5406106447 | chloroplast | the organelle where photosynthesis takes place | 12 | |
| 5406106448 | products of light reactions | NADPH + ATP + O2 | 13 | |
| 5406106449 | reactants of calvin cycle | NADPH + ATP + CO2 | 14 | |
| 5406106450 | water | this molecule is split during the light reactions to replace electrons lost from Photosystem II | 15 | |
| 5406106451 | photosystem II | The location of water splitting. Electrons from here move down an electron transport chain, so that chemiosmosis can produce ATP. | 16 | |
| 5406106452 | p700 | this is the special chlorophyll that is located in photosystem I | 17 | |
| 5406106453 | p680 | this is the special chlorophyll that is located in photosystem II | 18 | |
| 5406106454 | chemoautotroph | organisms that produce their own food using inorganic materials - thermophilic Archaea | 19 | |
| 5406106455 | guard cells | cells responsible for opening and closing stomata | 20 | |
| 5406106456 | photorespiration | process where o2 gets substituted for CO2 in the calvin cycle | 21 | |
| 5406106457 | c3 plants | these plants have stomata open during the day and are most efficient in cool/moist conditions in normal light | 22 | |
| 5406106458 | c4 plants | these plants have stomata open during the day, but barely open on hot days, work best in high temps; use H20 better | 23 | |
| 5406106459 | CAM plants | these plants only have stomata open at night, convert co2 to an acid that is then broken down during the day - work well in dry conditions | 24 | |

| 5454880644 | C4 Plant examples | Corn, sugarcane, some turf grasses | 31 | |
| 5454887541 | CAM Plant examples | Cactus, pineapple trees, Aloe | 32 | |
| 5454891997 | Non-cyclic Electron Flow | Electrons move from water to Photosystem II to Photosystem I (NORMAL Light Reactions) | 33 | |
| 5454903927 | Cyclic Electron Flow | Electrons from Photosystem I establish a H+ gradient to make ATP. NADPH is NOT made. Water is NOT split. | 34 |
