| Photosynthesis is the process that converts_____ energy into the_____energy of a carbohydrate. | solar, chemical |
| A heterotrophic organism is best described as an organism that: | cannot synthesize organic compounds from inorganic substances and therefore must take in organic food. |
| Which of the following are examples of autotrophic organisms? | algae, palm trees, and cyanobacteria |
| During photosynthesis, carbon dioxide enters the leaf of a plant through small openings called _____. | stromata |
| Which process converts solar energy into chemical energy in the form of a carbohydrate? | photosynthesis |
| Where does photosynthesis take place in a flowering plant? | chloroplast |
| Organisms that cannot synthesize organic compounds from inorganic substances and therefore must take in organic molecules (food) are | heterotrophs |
| examples of heterotrophs | rabbit and reindeer |
| The two outer membranes of the chloroplast enclose a gelatinous matrix called the | stroma |
| The organelle in plant cells that contains chlorophyll and is the site of photosynthesis is the | chloroplast |
| oxidation reaction | The loss of electrons or hydrogen ions |
| reduction reaction | The gain of electrons or the gain of hydrogen ions |

| Select all of the products of the light reactions of photosynthesis. | ATP, NADPH |
| Pigments that serve as an accessory to chlorophyll in photosynthesis and that can give cells a yellow to red color are called | carotenoids |
| A light-capturing unit found in a thylakoid membrane that consists of a pigment complex and electron acceptor molecules is called a(n) | photosystem |
