Besides plants, what are two other types of organisms that can conduct photosynthesis?,
| Bacteria and protists both have members that do photosynthesis. |
A student notices bubbles coming off of an aquatic plant when it is exposed to bright sunlight. These bubbles are most likely ___. | oxygen (because the plant is doing photosynthesis),
|
Photosynthesis uses sunlight to convert water and carbon dioxide into ___.,
| oxygen and high energy sugars or starches |
What are three things needed for photosynthesis?,
| water, carbon dioxide, and sunlight |
Plants gather the sun's energy with light absorbing molecules called ___. | pigments |
Which type of pigment is used to capture most of the sun's energy? | chlorophyll,
|
An orange pigment that captures some of the sun's energy is called ___. | carotene |

What is a granum (singular of grana)? | It's a stack of thylakoids inside a chloroplast. |
The region of the chloroplast that is outside of the thylakoids is called the ___. | stroma |
Where in the chloroplast can chlorophyll be found? | Within the thylakoid membrane |
Where do the light-dependent reactions of photosynthesis take place?,
| Within the thylakoid membrane of the chloroplast |
What are the products of the light-dependent reactions of photosynthesis?,
