PhotosynthesisPhotosynthesis- A process by which plants convert sunlight, water, and carbon dioxide into chemical energy, glucose (sugar), and oxygen
ChloroplastChloroplast- A cell organelle containing chlorophyll where photosynthesis takes place.
ChlorophyllChlorophyll- A green molecule which uses light energy from sunlight to change water and carbon dioxide gas into glucose and oxygen
Chlorophyll is the green pigment
inside the chloroplasts of plant cells that makes leaves
green!
