Fixation: The process where CO2 gets converted into sugars is called carbon ____
Membranes: In photosynthetic bacteria the proteins that gather the light are found in the cell ____
Chloroplasts: Photosynthesis takes place in these organelles in plants & algae
Leaves: Most of the energy is captured in the ____ for the majority of plant species
Reactions: There are two ____ that take place, a light-dependant and light-independent
Stomata: The pores on leaves that draw in CO2 and release O2
