| | | | | | |
| — | — | — | — | — | — |
| **Molecule Type** | **Reactant/Product** | **Where It Comes From** | **How It Enters/Exits the Plant** | **Where It Goes** | **Its Significance** |
| Carbon Dioxide | Reactant | From the _______ that surrounds the plant | Enters through the leaf’s ___________ | Into the _______________ inside the leaf’s cells | It is converted into ___________ during photosynthesis. |
| Oxygen | Product | Made in the _____________ of chloroplasts | Exits through the leaf’s ___________ | Into the _______that surrounds the plant | It is a byproduct of photosynthesis essential for _________<br>____________. |
| Glucose | Product | Made in the __________ of chloroplasts | | Sugars travel through the __________ to the different parts of the plant | It provides __________ that fuels all the plant’s activities. |
| Water | Reactant | From the ________ that surrounds the plant’s roots | Enters through the ______<br>_______ of the plant | Travels through the _________ into the chloroplasts inside the leaf’s cells | It is split during photosynthesis to create __________ and convert NADP+ to NADPH. |
