Photosynthesis

study of energy flow within living systems

gets energy from photosynthesis

gets energy from cellular respiration

gets energy from recycling nutrients from wastes and remains of dead organisms

high-energy molecules that stores the energy needed to do work

converting solar energy into chemical energy stored in sugar molecules (glucose)

carry out photosynthesis

most-used pigments

photosynthesis occurs in _______, middle layer of leaves

tiny opening in the leaves where gases pass through

make up the mesophyll tissues and contain the chloroplasts

tiny disk-shaped structures and are contained in the chloroplasts

stack of thylakoids

enzymatic space that surrounds the granum

green pigment molecule, is embedded inside the thylakoid membrane

space inside the thylakoid membrane

occurs in the thylakoid membrane of chloroplasts and when light is available

occurs in the stroma of the chloroplasts

group of pigments and proteins located in the thylakoid membrane. serve as charging systems for electrons.
