Document Summary

Use energy from the sun to make their own sugars. Term that refers to processes like photosynthesis and cellular respiration that consist of many linked chemical reactions. The process used by autotrophs to make glucose and other organic molecules. The process used by autotrophs and heterotrophs to break down glucose into atp mitochondria. The organelle where cellular respiration takes place chloroplast. The area in the chloroplast where the light reaction takes place. The liquid portion in the interior of the chloroplast where the calvin cycle (dark reaction) takes place. Accessory pigments that help chloroplasts absorb more light (in addition to the light absorbed by chlorophyll) Another name for the dark reaction - it refers to the fact that carbon is fixed (it is taken from the air and converted into sugars using energy from the sun) This is where all of the carbon that is present in a tree/flower comes from. The source of energy for all life on earth.
