100

These organisms get their energy directly from sunlight or inorganic molecules.

What are autotrophs. 

100

Light absorption takes place in this organelle in plant cells. 

What are chloroplasts?

100

This is a type of compound that absorbs light of specific wavelengths and reflects the rest. 

What is a pigment?
200

Heterotrophs get their energy from autotrophs by this activity. 

What is eating?

200

Within the chloroplast, light reactions take place in these sacs. 

What are thylakoids? 

200

This pigment is the only one involved in the light reactions of photosynthesis. 

What is chlorophyll a?

300

This is the process that autotrophs use to get their energy. 

What is photosynthesis?

300
Light energy is captured by photosynthesis and temporarily stored in ATP and this other useful molecule. 

What is NADPH?

300

This chlorophyll is also called an accessory pigment. 

What is chlorophyll b?

400

This is the first stage of photosynthesis. 

What are light reactions? 

400

This is the solution that is in the chloroplasts. 

What is the stroma?

400

These pigments give us beautiful brown and yellow fall colors. 

What are carotenoids? 

500

This is the second stage of photosynthesis. 

What is the Calvin cycle?

500

The light organelle in plant cells has these "stacks of sacs."

What are grana?

500

This is the color of light that chlorophyll a absorbs. 

What is red?
