Across
  1. 4. The energy-storage molecule that is formed during electron transport when NADP+ combines with electrons and a hydrogen ion (H+)
  2. 6. This enzyme is used in the Calvin cycle and is one of the most important biological enzymes
  3. 8. Hydrogen ions (H+) diffuse down their concentration gradient out of the thylakoid interior into the stroma though an ion channel in the membrane called ATP
  4. 9. Phase Two of photosynthesis is also called the ______________ cycle
  5. 10. During electron transport, a water molecule is split, forming a hydrogen ion (H+) and _____________ as a waste product
  6. 11. Process in which light energy is trapped and converted into chemical energy
  7. 13. Large organelles that capture light energy in photosynthetic organisms
  8. 15. Flattened saclike membranes that are arranged in stacks; where light-dependent reactions take place
Down
  1. 1. Stacks of Thylakoids (singular = granum)
  2. 2. In ___________ transport, excited electrons move from molecule to molecule in the thylakoid membrane
  3. 3. The light-dependent reaction that results in the production of ATP during photosynthesis
  4. 5. In the third step of the Calvin cycle, some G3P molecules leave the cycle to be used for the production of ______________ and other organic compounds
  5. 7. The major light-absorbing pigment in plants
  6. 12. The fluid-filled space outside the grana in the chloroplast; where light-independent reactions take place
  7. 13. These types of plants allow carbon dioxide to only enter their leaves at night and complete carbon fixation at night as well in order to allow for sufficient carbon dioxide uptake, while minimizing water loss
  8. 14. Light-absorbing colored molecules found in the thylakoid membranes of chloroplasts
