Across
- 1. one of the carrier molecules that transfers high-energy electrons from chlorophyll to other molecules
- 5. region outside the thylakoid membranes in chloroplasts
- 6. one of the principal chemical compounds that things use to store and release energy
- 7. process by which plants and some other organisms use light energy to convert water and carbon dioxide into oxygen and high-energy carbohydrates such as sugars and starches
- 9. organism that captures energy from sunlight or chemiclas and use it to produce its own food from inorganic compounds; also called a producer
- 11. organism that obtains energy from the food it consumes; also called a consumer
- 13. light-collecting units of the chloroplast
Down
- 2. large protein that uses energy from H+ ions to bind ADP and a phosphate group together to produce ATP
- 3. reactions of photosynthesis that use energy from light to produce ATP and NADPH
- 4. light-absorbing molecule
- 8. reactions of photosynthesis in which energy from ATP and NADPH is used to build high-energy compounds such as sugars
- 10. principal pigment of plants and other photosynthetic organisms; captures light energy
- 12. saclike photosynthesis membrane found in chloroplast
