| Light-dependent | Requiring light to occur, such as the reactions in photosynthesis that use light energy |
| Light-independent | Not requiring light to occur, such as the reactions in photosynthesis that do not use light energy |
| limited resources | Resources that are scarce or limited in supply |
| limiting factor | An environmental factor that limits the growth or distribution of a population |
| limiting resource | A resource whose scarcity limits the growth or distribution of a population |
| Lipid | A type of organic compound including fats, oils, and phospholipids, important for energy storage and cell structure |
