1. Photosynthesis: The process by which green plants, algae, and some bacteria convert light energy into chemical energy in the form of glucose, using carbon dioxide and water in the presence of sunlight and chlorophyll.

2. Glucose: A simple sugar that serves as the primary source of energy for living organisms. It is produced during photosynthesis and used by cells for metabolism and growth.

3. Chlorophyll: A green pigment found in the chloroplasts of plants and algae that absorbs light energy during photosynthesis. It is responsible for the green color of plants.

4. Chloroplasts: A specialized organelle found in plant cells that is responsible for the process of photosynthesis. It contains chlorophyll and other pigments that capture light energy and convert it into chemical energy in the form of glucose.

5. Stomata: Small openings or pores found on the surface of plant leaves and stems that regulate the exchange of gases, such as carbon dioxide and oxygen, between the plant and its environment. Stomata also play a role in water regulation and transpiration.
