| Question | Answer |
| Calvin Cycle | The process of photosynthesis where carbon dioxide is fixed and ATP and NADPH are used to produce a carbohydrate. |
| carbon fixation | Joining carbon dioxide to RuBP in the Calvin Cycle. |
| stomata | Small pores in the undersurface of a plant’s leaves used for gas exchange. |
| C4 pathway | Plants living in hot, dry climates, like corn or sugar cane use this alternate pathway to fix carbon dioxide. |
| CAM pathway | Plants like pineapples use this pathway to fix carbon dioxide. They open their stomata at night. |
| rubisco | The most common enzyme on earth-used to join carbon dioxide and RuBP. |
| ATP | The cell’s energy currency. |
| NADPH | An energy shuttle that transport electrons and hydrogen ions between the light reactions and the Calvin cycle. |
