reaction to create saccharides
such as glucose...
Light Chemical Glucose So, Kumi, what have
H20 reaction you noticed about
Huh? um...Well... all of these cellular
processes? Do they
Chloroplast have anything in
Protein synthesis common?
MeEtnaebroglyispmroduction They’re all
Photosynthesis chemical
reactions?
You got it!
Kumi gets a
gold star!
