Autotrophs
Produce own food
Photosynthesis
Conversion of solar energy into chemical energy
Heterotrophs
Consumer
Photosynthesis equation
CO2+H2O + Solar energy –> C6H12O6+ O2
Stomata
Opening that allows co2 in and oxygen out
Chloroplast
Organelle that contains chlorophyll double membrane photosynthesis happens inside organell
Thylakoids
Flattened sac in chloroplast
Grana
Stack of thylakoids
Part of the plant cell
Mesophyll epidermis cuticle guard cell stoma xylem and phloem vascular bundle
Chlorophyll
Pigment located inside thylakoids membrane
Stroma
Semi fluid in chloroplasts
Reduced in photosynthesis equation
Carbon dioxide into sugar gains electrons
Oxidized in photosynthesis equation
Water into oxygen loss of electrons
NADP+
Co enzyme in photosynthesis that reduces to become NADPH will gain two electrons and h
NADPH
Electron carrier that gains two electrons and hydrogen
