Front 1

autotrophs

Back 1

they make their own food and sustain themselves without eating other organisms or organic molecules

Front 2

producers

Back 2

produce fod supply

Front 3

photoautotrophs

Back 3

all organisms that produce molecules fromm inorganic molecules using the energy of light

Front 4

mesophyll

Back 4

the green tissue in the interior of the leaf where chloroplasts are

Front 5

stomata

Back 5

when Carbon Dioxide enters the leaf, the oxygen exits by way of these tiny pores

Front 11

stroma

Back 11

thick fluid whe sugar is made from carbon dioxide and water in the chloroplast's nner mebrane enclosed in a second compartment

Front 12

thylakoids

Back 12

suspended in the stroma, a system of interconected membranous sacs

Front 13

grana

Back 13

in thylakoid membranes, chlorohyll molecules that capture light energy.

Front 14

light reactions

Back 14

include steps to convert light energy to chemical energy and produce O2 gas as a waste product

Front 15

Calvin Cycle

Back 15

occurs in stroma of the chloroplast. it is a cyclic series of reactions that assembles sugar molecules using CO2 and the energy containing products of light reactions.

Front 16

carbon fixation

Back 16

the incorporation fo carbon from CO2 into organic compounds entering the calvin cycle.
