| 3010212458 | reactants of calvin cycle | NADPH + ATP + CO2 | 14 | |
| 3010216389 | water | this molecule splits and allows for an electron to be bumped up to the primary electron acceptor in photosystem II | 15 | |
| 3010220190 | photosystem II | the location of water splitting | 16 | |
| 3010220218 | p700 | this is the special chlorophyll that is located in photosystem I | 17 | |

| 3010240021 | c3 plants | these plants have stomata open during the day and are most efficient in cool/moist conditions in normal light | 22 | |
| 3010242712 | c4 plants | these plants have stomata open during the day, but barely open on hot days, work best in high light/temps, use h20 better | 23 | |
| 3010246530 | 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 |
