- ADP: Adenosine diphosphate
- ATP: Adenosine triphosphate
- calvin cycle: The process of continously removing Carbon Dioxide from the atmospher to convert to glucose
- chloroplast: the plant organelle where photosynthesis takes place
- cholorophyll: most common pigment in plants and its green
- electron transport chain: when light energy is passed on to high energy electrons
- glucose: high energy sugar that is produced during photosyntheses
- light dependenf reaction: any chemical reaction that requires sunlight
- light independent reaction: no sunlight is produced and in a plant it is where carbon dioxide and oxygen are used to produce high energy sugars
- photosynthesis: 6 CO2 + 6 H20 -> C6H1206 + 6 CO2
- stomata: Opening on the underside of the leave through which oxygen gas is released
