fill in the blank.

1. the thick fluid inside chloroplasts is the _.
2. water and sugars are carried through plants in _.
3. write the word equation for photosynthesis:

Explanation:

1. Photosynthesis uses energy from sunlight (\(i\)) to make organic compounds.
2. Photosynthesis occurs in the chloroplast (\(f\)).
3. Water and carbon dioxide (\(c\)) are reactants of photosynthesis.
4. Organisms that use photosynthesis to make food are autotrophs (\(a\)).
5. The products of photosynthesis are oxygen and glucose (\(d\)).
6. The process of converting light energy to chemical energy is photosynthesis (\(k\)).
7. Openings on the underside of leaves that allow for gas exchange are stomata (\(g\)).
8. The pigment that makes most plants appear green is chlorophyll (\(l\)).
9. Membrane where the light reactions occur is the thylakoid (\(h\)).
10. The leaf layer where most photosynthesis occurs is the mesophyll (\(j\)).
11. The waste product that plants release into the atmosphere is oxygen (\(e\)).
12. Organisms that cannot make their own food are called heterotrophs (\(b\)).
13. The thick fluid inside chloroplasts is the stroma.
14. Water and sugars are carried through plants in vascular tissues (veins is an oversimplification, but if we assume the intended answer is veins as per the student's writing, we go with that).
15. The word equation for photosynthesis: Carbon dioxide + Water → Glucose + Oxygen.

7. \(g\)
8. \(l\)
9. \(h\)
10. \(j\)
11. \(e\)
12. \(b\)
13. stroma
14. veins
15. Carbon dioxide + Water → Glucose + Oxygen
