| chloroplast | organelle where photosynthesis takes place. |
| photosynthesis | the process by which autotrophs use light energy, carbon dioxide and water to create carbohydrates like glucose. |
| ATP | the molecule that provides energy. |
| bonds | where energy is stored in the ATP molecule. |
| pigments | absorb light energy needed for photosynthesis. |
| chlorophyll a | the main pigment |
| accessory pigments | includes chlorophyll b and carentenoids |
| thylakoid | site where the 1st stage (light reaction) of photosynthesis takes place. |
| stroma | site where the 2nd stage (dark reaction) of photosynthesis takes place. |
| reactants of light reaction | light energy and water |
| reactants of dark reaction | ATP, NADPH and carbon dioxide |
| product of the dark reaction | glucose |
| granum | stack of thylakoids |
| stomata | opening where carbon dioxide enters the leaf and oxygen exits the leaf. |
