Energy from the sun that plants use to power photosynthesis.

Energy stored in the bonds of molecules, like the energy in food that our bodies use.

The materials or substances that go into a process, like carbon dioxide and water in photosynthesis.

The materials or substances that come out of a process, like sugar and oxygen in photosynthesis.

Anything that has mass and takes up space, including solids, liquids, and gases.

The process of changing one form of matter or energy into another, like light energy into chemical energy during photosynthesis.

The ability to do work or cause change, found in different forms like light, chemical, and heat.

Organelle of plant and algae cells that use sunlight to make food through photosynthesis. They contain chlorophyll.

A green pigment in plants that captures sunlight, allowing plants to make food during photosynthesis.

outer layer of leaf, no chloroplasts, guard cells found on underside of leaf

surround each stomate, open and close the stomate based upon water availability

contains chloroplasts and performs photosynthesis, lower layers are spread out to allow gas exchange

transports water from the roots and sugar (sap) to the rest of the plant

pores that allow water vapor to exit and carbon dioxide/oxygen to enter

Connections between atoms in a molecule. These bonds store energy that can be released during chemical reactions.

The process by which plants use sunlight to make food from carbon dioxide and water, producing oxygen as a byproduct.

A gas that plants take in from the air to use in photosynthesis.

A liquid that plants absorb from the soil to use in photosynthesis.

A type of molecule produced by plants during photosynthesis, which they use for energy and growth.

A gas produced by plants during photosynthesis that is released into the air.

A molecule that carries energy within cells. It is often called the "energy currency" of the cell because it provides the energy needed for many cellular processes.

1-5: Photosynthesis

photosynthesis transforms light energy into stored chemical energy.

Term	Definition
light energy	Energy from the sun that plants use to power photosynthesis.
chemical energy	Energy stored in the bonds of molecules, like the energy in food that our bodies use.
inputs	The materials or substances that go into a process, like carbon dioxide and water in photosynthesis.
outputs	The materials or substances that come out of a process, like sugar and oxygen in photosynthesis.
matter	Anything that has mass and takes up space, including solids, liquids, and gases.
transformation	The process of changing one form of matter or energy into another, like light energy into chemical energy during photosynthesis.
energy	The ability to do work or cause change, found in different forms like light, chemical, and heat.
chloroplast	Organelle of plant and algae cells that use sunlight to make food through photosynthesis. They contain chlorophyll.
chlorophyll	A green pigment in plants that captures sunlight, allowing plants to make food during photosynthesis.
epidermis cells	outer layer of leaf, no chloroplasts, guard cells found on underside of leaf
guard cells	surround each stomate, open and close the stomate based upon water availability
mesophyll cells	contains chloroplasts and performs photosynthesis, lower layers are spread out to allow gas exchange
vein	transports water from the roots and sugar (sap) to the rest of the plant
stomate	pores that allow water vapor to exit and carbon dioxide/oxygen to enter
bonds	Connections between atoms in a molecule. These bonds store energy that can be released during chemical reactions.
photosynthesis	The process by which plants use sunlight to make food from carbon dioxide and water, producing oxygen as a byproduct.
