Photosynthesis in plants generally involves the green pigment chlorophyll and generates oxygen as a byproduct.

Any of the minute pores in the epidermis of the leaf or stem of a plant, forming a slit of a variable width that allows movement of gases in and out of the intercellular spaces.

Each of a pair of curved cells that surround a stoma, becoming larger or smaller according to the pressure within the cells.

Its molecule contains a magnesium held in a porphyrin ring.

(in green plant cells) a plastid that contains chlorophyll and in which photosynthesis takes place.

Light dependent reaction

Uses light energy to make two molecules needed for the next stage of photosynthesis.

Light independent reaction

Are chemical reactions that convert carbon dioxide and other compounds into glucose.

Is a graphical model of energy flow in a community.

Is an organism, either a green plant or bacterium, which is part of the first level of a food chain.

An organelle found in large numbers in most cells, in which the biochemical processes of respiration of energy production occur.

an organism that is able to form nutritional organic substances from simple inorganic substances such as carbon dioxide.

Are organisms that eat organisms from a different population.

A organism that only eat plants.

A organism that cannot manufacture its own food and instead obtains its food and energy by taking in organic substances, usually plant or animal matter.

A animal that eats a diet consisting mainly of meat.

Are organisms that break down dead or decaying organisms, and in doing so, they carry out natural process of decompostion.

a layer of loosely packed and irregularly shaped chlorophyll-bearing cells that fills the part of a leaf between the palisade layer and the lower epidermis -- called also spongy parenchyma, spongy tissue.

a layer of columnar cells rich in chloroplasts found beneath the upper epidermis of foliage leaves.
