1. the process some organisms are able to use by which they convert light energy to chemical energy 2. the main method photosynthesizing organisms use for carbon dioxide fixation Photosynthesis 3. a set of chemical reactions that break down pyruvate, producing electron carriers for an electron transport chain that powers ATP production 4. the process cells use to produce energy from carbohydrates 5. a substance that absorbs some wavelengths of light and reflects others, giving something its color 6. the green substance that absorbs light and provides energy for photosynthesis 7. disc-shaped sacs in chloroplasts in which photosynthesis takes place 8. the series of molecules in the inner membranes of chloroplasts and mitochondria down which excited electrons pass, releasing energy for ATP production 9. process by which NAD is recycled under anaerobic conditions in order to continue the break down of carbohydrates to supply energy for producing ATP 10. adenosine triphosphate, a substance that stores and releases energy for most cell processes 11. describes a process that requires oxygen
