Photosynthesis |
Photosynthesis is a process used by plants and other organisms to convert light energy, normally from the Sun, into chemical energy that can be later released to fuel the organisms' activities. |
|
Clorophyll |
A green pigment responsible for capturing light. |
|
Chloroplast |
A plastid that contains chlorophyll and photosynthesis takes place. |
|
Light independent reaction |
These reactions occur in the stroma, the fluid-filled area of a chloroplast outside of the thylakoid membranes. |
|
Light Dependent reaction |
The inside of the thylakoid membrane is called the lumen, and outside the thylakoid membrane is the stroma, where the light-independent reactions take place. |
|
Thylakoid |
A thylakoid is a membrane-bound compartment inside chloroplasts and cyanobacteria. They are the site of the light-dependent reactions of photosynthesis |
|
Stroma |
the supportive tissue of an epithelial organ, tumor, gonad, etc., consisting of connective tissues and blood vessels. |
|
Oxygen |
a colorless, odorless reactive gas, the chemical element of atomic number 8 and the life-supporting component of the air. |
