What is chlorophyll

A molecule that absorb some of the energy as visible light

What is chemosynthesis

A process by which some organisms use chemical energy instead of sunlight to make energy storing carbon-based molecules (food)

What is photosynthesis

A process that captures energy from sunlight to make sugars that store energy

What does Chemo and synthesis stand for

Chemo-chemical Synthesis-to make

What does light dependent reactions do

Chlorophyll captures energy from the sun

What is a thylakoid

Coin-shaped compartments

What is stroma

Fluid that surrounds the grana inside the chloroplast

What Are the products of photosynthesis equation

Glucose, oxygen, and chemical energy is made

Where is chlorophyll found

In a thylakoid

Where does photosynthesis occur

In the chloroplast

Where does the light independent reactions occur

In the stroma

Where does light dependent reactions occur

In thylakoids

Where can you find some chemosynthetic organisms

In very hot water near cracks in the ocean floor called hydrothermal vent

What are the two stages of photosynthesis

Light dependent reactions and light independent reactions

What is the photosynthesis equation

Light energy + 6H2O + 6CO2 yields C6H12O6 + 6O2 + chemical energy

What the energy transformation that occurs during photosynthesis

Light energy is converted to chemical energy

What are the reactants in the photosynthesis equation

Light energy, water and carbon dioxide

What does light independent reactions do

Make sugars

What does photo and synthesis stand for

Photo-light synthesis-to make

What does the energy for all organism begin as

Sunlight either directly or indirectly

How does the plant obtain water it needs for photosynthesis

The roots get the water from the ground

What do you plants on chemosynthetic organisms have in common

They make their own food
