| Term | Definition |
|---|---|
| CO2 | Carbon Dioxide Chemical Name |
| H2O | Water Chemical Name |
| C6H12O6 | Glucose Chemical Name |
| O2 | Oxygen Chemical Name |
| Photo | First Part of Photosynthesis Absorbs Sunlight H2O is Split + O2 is Released |
| Synthesis | Make the 'Calvin Cycle' |
| Energy | Ability to do Work |
| Catabolic | Break things down |
| Anabolic | Build things up |
| Autotroph | Self Feeding Organism |
| Grana | Stacks of Thylakoid Membranes in the Chloroplast |

| Metabolism | All Chemical Reactions in the/a Cell |
| Chloroplast | Makes the Plants Green |
| Thylakoid Membrane | Chloroplast inside |
| Stroma | The outside of the Thylakoid Membranes |
| Light Reaction | ATP and NADPH is found in this part of the Chloroplast |
| ATP | This is the ATP enzyme |
| ATP | Energy Carrier |
| Calvin Cycle | photoSYNTHESIS makes glucose |
| Carbon Fixation | It is found in the process Photosynthesis and in Autotrophic plants 3 carbon dioxides go into the Calvin Cycle (dark reaction) |
