| Photosynthesis | CO2 + H2O = C6H12O6 + O2 (When organisms take in water, carbon dioxide, and light to make glucose and oxygen) |
| Photosynthetic Organisms | Plants, some bacteria, some protista |
| Pigments | molecules that absorb light energy |
| Chlorophyll | pigment in photosynthesis that absorbs all colors of light except green |
| Chloroplast | the organelle where photosynthesis occurs |
| Light Reaction | the stage of photosynthesis where NADPH and ATP are produced by absorbing light and splitting water |
| Calvin Cycle | the process of photosynthesis when CO2, ATP, and NADPH are used to make glucose |
| Stroma | the liquid in chloroplasts where the Calvin Cycle occurs |
| Thylakoid | The structures within chloroplasts where the Light Reaction occurs |
| CO2 | Carbon dioxide; is absorbed by plants to make glucose |
| C6H12O6 | glucose; the carbohydrate molecule made during photosythesis |
| H20 | water, the molecule that is split during the light reaction |
| O2 | oxygen; the molecule that results from splitting water in the light reaction |
| NADPH/ATP | the molecules produced during the Light Reaction that power the Calvin Cycle |
| Reactants of Photosynthesis | CO2 (carbon dioxide) + H2O (water) |
| Products of Photosynthesis | C6H12O6 (glucose) + O2 (oxygen) |
