Bio CK12 2.21 Photosynthesis
Across
- 4. exchange of oxygen and carbon dioxide between the body and the outside air
- 5. an electrochemical gradient across the thylakoid membrane and the inner membrane of the mitochondrion; due to concentration differences of both positive charges and hydrogen ions
- 10. common name of a plant-like protist, which contains chloroplasts and makes food by photosynthesis
- 12. an atom or group of bonded atoms that has a positive or negative charge
- 13. membrane-spanning protein that allows transport of a specific ion through the cell membrane
- 15. multicellular, heterotrophic eukaryote with specialized cells that lack cell walls; member of the animal kingdom
- 16. an individual living thing
- 20. organelle in the cells of plants and algae, that contains chlorophyll and is the site of photosynthesis
- 21. first stage of photosynthesis in which light energy from the sun is captured and changed into chemical energy that is stored in ATP and NADPH
- 22. the difference in the concentrations of molecules across a membrane
- 23. green pigment in a chloroplast that absorbs light energy during the light reactions of photosynthesis
- 25. an ion channel and enzyme that uses the energy of hydrogen ions to chemically bond a phosphate group to ADP, producing ATP
- 27. sharing of electrons between two atoms that holds the atoms together
- 28. basic unit of structure and function of living things
Down
- 1. series of electron-transport molecules that pass high-energy electrons from molecule to molecule and capture their energy
- 2. difference across a membrane due to both a chemical force and an electrical force; drives the movement of ions across the membrane
- 3. third stage of cellular respiration, which occurs on the inner membrane of mitochondria, requires oxygen, and produces up to 34 molecules of ATP
- 6. a protein molecule that is attached to, or associated with, the membrane of a cell or an organelle
- 7. short-term energy carrier; temporarily stores energy during photosynthesis
- 8. a group of organisms that can mate with one another to produce fertile offspring
- 9. a protein that acts as a biological catalyst, increasing the rate of a biochemical reaction
- 11. movement of substances across a plasma membrane that requires energy because the substance is moving against the concentration gradient, from a lower to higher concentration
- 14. molecules that accept and temporarily hold high-energy electrons
- 17. mixture of gases that surrounds a planet such as Earth
- 18. splitting water by light; produces the hydrogen ions and electrons used in light reactions and oxygen atoms
- 19. the ability to do work
- 24. energy-carrying molecule that cells use to power their metabolic processes; provides the cell with an immediate usable form of energy
- 26. flattened sac of membrane inside a chloroplast where the first stage of photosynthesis (light reactions) occurs
