Chapter 8
Across
- 2. distance between consecutive points of equal position
- 4. a complex (including chlorophyll) that is assembled around a special pair of chlorophyll molecules and a primary electron acceptor
- 6. group of proteins that forms the part of the electron transport chain between photosystem 1 and 2
- 10. photosynthetic pigment (yellow orange red) that functions to dispose of excess energy
- 12. organism that can build organic molecules using energy derived from inorganic chemicals instead of light
- 21. gaining of electrons by an atom or molecule
- 25. opening that regulates gas exchange and water evaporation between leaves and the environment
- 26. pigemnet molecule that directly absorbs light and transfers the energy absorbed to other pigment molecules
- 27. inner space of a thylakoid
- 28. where photosynthesis takes place
- 29. a stack of thylakoids
- 31. absorbs violet-blue light and red light, has a blue-green color; the only pigment molecule that performs the photochemistry by getting excited and losing an electron to the electron transport chain
Down
- 1. molecule that can absorb wavelengths of light
- 3. an oragnism that consumes organic substance or other substances for food
- 5. a range of all possible frequencies of radiation
- 7. accessory pigment that absorbs blue and red-orange light, yellow-green color
- 8. molecule (usually a pigment) that accepts the energized electron from the reaction center
- 9. complex that allows sunlight to pass to the reactions sites, has antenna proteins (mix of chlorphyll a and b along with other pigments like carotenoids)
- 11. uses light energy to transport electron through the ETC
- 13. reactions that do not require a photon of light to occur, ATP,NADPH, and CO2 are used to
- 14. ranges of wavelengths of electromagnetic radiation absorbed by a given substance
- 15. a group of proteins along photosystem 1 and 2 that can pass energized electrons, as this happens enough energy is made to pump hydrogen ions into the thylakoid lumen
- 16. transports electrons from water to the ETC, oxygen is produced
- 17. group of proteins , chlorophyll and other pigments that are used in the light dependent reactions
- 18. organism that can produce its own organic compounds using light
- 19. light-independent reactions of photosynthesis that convert carbon dioxide from the atmosphere into carbohydrates using the energy and reducing power of ATP and NADPH
- 20. process of converting CO2 gas into organic compounds
- 22. middle layer of chlorophyll-rich cells in a leaf
- 23. reactions that require a photon of light to occur, this photon is abosrbed to form two energy-carrying molecules(ATP and NADPH)
- 24. unit of light
- 30. membrane bound structure inside of the chloroplast where light dependent reactions take place
