  1. VOCABULARY Photosynthesis

  2. Photosynthesis • The plant process in which radiant energy from the sun is converted into chemical energy.

  3. Carbon Dioxide • A compound made of the elements carbon and oxygen. • Carbon dioxide combines with radiant energy and water to produce glucose in the process of photosynthesis.

  4. Water • A molecule made of the elements, hydrogen and oxygen. • Water combines with radiant energy and carbon dioxide to produce glucose in the process of photosynthesis.

  5. Radiant Energy • The Sun’s energy.

  6. Chlorophyll • A green pigment found in the chloroplast of a leaf that gives green plants their color.

  7. Glucose • A carbohydrate or sugar made during photosynthesis and used to feed the plant and help it grow.

  8. Oxygen • made of the element oxygen. • Oxygen is the waste product in plants in the process of photosynthesis.

  9. Chloroplast • Found in the palisade layer of the leaf and where photosynthesis takes place.

  10. Transpiration • a process in which the water vapor escapes through the plant via its stomata and lenticels into its externalenvironment (atmosphere).

  11. Stoma • An opening found in plant leaves that acts as a doorway to allow substances in and out of the leaf.

  12. Stomata • More than one Stoma.

  13. Guard Cells • Two guard cells surround each stoma and open and close the stoma in response to water levels in the cells.
