  1. 2. carrier molecule that transfers high energy electrons from chlorophyll to other molecules
  2. 3. an enzyme for the synthesis of ATP; consists of a cluster of proteins that span the cell membrane and allow hydrogen ions H+ to pass
  3. 4. light-absorbing molecule sued by plants to gather the sun’s energy
  4. 6. 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; also called the Calvin Cycle
  5. 9. compound used by cells to store and release energy
  6. 11. series of electron carrier proteins that shuttle high energy electrons during ATP-generating reactions
  7. 12. process used by plants and other autotrophs to capture light energy and use it to power chemical reactions that convert carbon dioxide and water into oxygen and energy rich carbohydrates such a sugar and starches
  8. 13. nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate
  9. 15. principal pigment of plants and other photosynthetic organisms
Down
  1. 1. set of reactions in photosynthesis that use energy from light to produce ATP and NADPH
  2. 5. cluster of chlorophyll and proteins found in the thylakoids
  3. 7. light independent reactions of photosynthesis in which energy from ATP and NADPH is used to build high energy compounds such as sugar
  4. 8. saclike photosynthetic membranes found in chloroplasts
  5. 10. fluid portion of the chloroplast; outside of the thylakoids
  6. 14. adenosine triphosphate
