an organism that produces its own nutrients from inorganic substances or from the environment instead of consuming other organisms

an organism that obtains food molecules by eating other organism or their byproducts and that cannot synthesize organic compounds from inorganic materials

the process by which plants, algae and some bacteria use sunlight CO2 and water to form carbohydrates and oxygen

The first set of reactions in photosynthesis which are triggered by the absorption of light and produce NADPH and ATP to be used in the Calvin cycle.

an organelle found in plants and algae cells that where photosynthesis occurs.

Membrane system of sacs found in chloroplasts that contains chlorophyll and are the site of the light reaction in photosynthesis.

one of many openings in a leaf or stem of a plant that enables gas exchange to occur.

a green pigment that is present in most plant cells that gives plant their characteristic green color and that reacts with sunlight CO2 and water to form carbohydrates

the process by which cells obtain food from carbs (No - the process by which cells obtain energy from carbohydrates)

the synthesis of organic compounds from CO2 such as in photosynthesis.

A biochemical pathway of photosynthesis in which carbon dioxide is converted to the 3-carbon sugar glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate, which can ultimately be used to form glucose.

Small pores usually on the underside of leaves that allow gases and water to enter or leave a plant.

plants that use the Calvin cycle directly after the light reaction in photosynthesis to form A three carbon intermediate.

a carbon fixation process in which carbon dioxide is bound to a compound to form A four carbon intermediate.

a water conserving carbon fixation process CAM plants take in carbon dioxide at night and fix it into various organic compounds and releases it during the day (into the Calvin cycle).

The 5-carbon sugar with 2 attached phosphates that bonds with CO2 for carbon fixation in the Calvin cycle

A 3-carbon intermediate in the Calvin cycle

G3P Glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate

The three carbon sugar produced in the Calvin cycle and ultimately used to make carbohydrates for later use.

the high energy and low energy forms of a compound for energy transfer in the two stages of photosynthesis. NADPH is produced in the light reaction and then used up in carbon fixation in the Calvin Cycle
