Across
  1. 1. This is where they open their stomata during the day (more CO2 available during daytime), and go through Calvin Cycle.
  2. 4. the colors of light that the human eye can see.
  3. 5. a jelly-like fluid inside surrounding the thylakoids where "The Calvin Cycle" occurs (mostly in Dark).
  4. 7. a stack of thylakoids
  5. 8. usually refers to xanthophyll and carotene
  6. 9. membranes inside where "the light-reactions" occur with the Electron Transport Chain.
  7. 12. in order to conserve H2O, they don't go through Calvin Cycle. Instead they make 4-carbon compounds. Can withstand drought. Examples: Corn, crabgrass, sugarcane
  8. 15. occur inside the thylakoid.
  9. 17. colors that absorb light. Produces energy from the sunlight it absorbs.
Down
  1. 2. absorb sunlight, but do not produce energy directly.
  2. 3. microscopic holes in the underside of leaves. allows oxygen to escape, and carbon dioxide to enter.
  3. 6. organelle where photosynthesis occurs.
  4. 10. plants that open their stomata during the night (not during daytime, like C3 or C4 plants) in order to conserve water. - grows very slowly as a result examples: cactus, pineapple, jade
  5. 11. the process of using water, carbon dioxide (COz), and sunlight to produce glucose and oxygen.
  6. 13. occurs in the stroma (just outside of the thylakoid)
  7. 14. one billionth of a meter (1/1,000,000,000), used to measure the wavelength of light
  8. 16. organisms that go through photosynthesis.
