Across
  1. 3. organism that is able to capture energy from sunlight or chemicals and use it to produce its own food; also called a producer
  2. 10. process used by plants and autotrophs to capture light energy and use it to power chemical reactions that convert carbon dioxide -rich carbohydrates such as sugars and water into oxygen
  3. 13. set of reactions in photosynthesis that use energy from light to produce ATP and NADPH
  4. 14. Fluid portion of the chloroplast; outside of the thylakoid
  5. 15. Principal pigment of plants and other photosynthetic organisms
  6. 17. Saclike photosynthetic membranes found in chloroplasts
  7. 18. Carrier molecule that transfers high-energy electrons from chlorophyll to other molecules
  8. 19. organism that obtains food by consuming other living things; also called a consumer
Down
  1. 1. when a phosphoryl group is transferred from a substrate to ADP or GDP to form ATP or GTP, coupled with the release of free energy
  2. 2. set of reactions in photosynthesis that do not require light; energy from ATP and NADPH is used to build high-energy compounds such as sugar
  3. 4. Gain of electrons
  4. 5. Process in which chemical energy is used to produce carbohydrates
  5. 6. Cluster of chlorophyll and proteins found in thylakoids
  6. 7. the light-independent reactions of photosynthesis in which energy from ATP and NADPH is used to build high-energy compounds such as sugar
  7. 8. Loss of electrons
  8. 9. light-absorbing molecules used by plants to gather the sun's energy
  9. 11. Compound used by cells to store and release energy
  10. 12. series of electron carrier proteins that shuttle high-energy electrons during ATP-generating reactions
  11. 16. Cluster of proteins that span the thylakoid membrane and allow hydrogen ions (H+) to pass through it
