| 7968955778 | PQ | shuttles electrons to the cytochrome complex | 5 | |
| 7968957042 | Fd | shuttles electrons to reductase or to the ETC | 6 | |
| 7968958055 | cyclic electrons flow | includes PS1; makes only a H+ gradient for ATP | 7 | |
| 7968959695 | linear electron flow | makes both NADPH and ATP | 8 | |
| 7968961946 | lumen | interior of the grana | 9 | |
| 7968962286 | stroma | liquid based medium that houses enzymes for the dark reactions | 10 | |
| 7968963409 | rubisco | most abundant enzyme; fixes CO2 to RuBP in C3 plants | 11 | |
| 7968965087 | NADP+ | oxidizing agent that can carry 2 electrons and a H+ | 12 | |
| 7968967442 | bundle sheath | location of the CO2 fixation in C4 plants | 13 | |
| 7968967859 | PEP carboxylase | has no affinity for O2 and fixes CO2 in C4 and CAM plants | 14 | |
| 7968968982 | phosphoglycerate | 3C molecule produced after CO2 fixation in C3 plants | 15 | |
| 7968970715 | Glyceraldehyde-3-Phosphate | sugar product from photosynthesis | 16 | |
| 7968972336 | photon | a 'packet' a light energy | 17 | |
| 7968973890 | photophosphorylation | the use of light energy to power the production of ATP | 18 | |
| 7968974418 | photoexcitation | when an electron captures a photon of light and enters the excited stage | 19 | |
| 7968976159 | plasmodesmata | junctions joining the cytoplasm of neighboring cells in plants | 20 | |
| 7968977524 | diffusion | process by which O2 and CO2 move through the plant cells | 21 | |
| 7968979469 | palisade layer | tall, boxy cells that are tightly arranged and are densely population with chloroplasts for maximum photosynthesis production | 22 | |
| 7968983443 | Krantz | structure of the leaf components in a C4 plant | 23 | |
| 7968984964 | transpiration | process of moving water from roots to leaves and out of the plant | 24 | |
| 7973096659 | cytochrome complex | uses the energy from the e' to move H+ ions through the membrane | 25 | |
| 7973104268 | photorespiration | occurs when the stomata close. CO2 is limited and therefore 02 is bound to RuBP. Plants loses approx 50% organic matter | 26 |
