Autotrophs
Organisms that can make their own food, such as plants, using light energy in photosynthesis.
Photosynthesis
The process by which autotrophs convert light energy, CO2, and water into glucose (food) and oxygen.
Chloroplasts
Plant cell organelles where photosynthesis occurs; contain the pigment chlorophyll.
Photosynthetic cells
Plant cells that perform photosynthesis, typically containing chloroplasts and chlorophyll.
What are the necessary inputs (reactants) for photosynthesis?
Carbon dioxide (CO2CO2) and water (H2OH2O).
What are the main outputs (products) of photosynthesis?
Glucose (sugar) and oxygen (O2O2)
What is the primary role of chlorophyll in photosynthesis?
It absorbs light energy, especially red and blue wavelengths, to power the photosynthetic process.
Where in the chloroplast is chlorophyll primarily found?
Within the thylakoid membranes inside the chloroplasts.
