Across
  1. 3. A 5-carbon sugar that can combine with carbon dioxide and be broken down further to carry out the Calvin Cycle
  2. 4. An organism that can make it's own and doesn't need to consume other organisms
  3. 5. A 3-carbon molecule that can build glucose
  4. 7. Another protein complex that splits water molecules creating electrons, which are later turned into ATP and NADPH
  5. 16. Light-independent reactions that use ATP and NADPH to convert carbon dioxide into sugars like Glucose
  6. 19. A metabolic process where energy can be created without oxygen by using a different molecule as the final electron acceptor
  7. 22. A coenzyme that sends electrons to be converted into ATP
  8. 26. A dense fluid that fills the space within the chloroplasts, where the reactions that don't use light for photosynthesis occur
  9. 28. Process where cells convert glucose and oxygen into energy, which produces CO2 and water
  10. 29. When Rubisco binds to oxygen instead of CO2, reducing the efficiency of photosynthesis where oxygen is used and CO2 is released
  11. 30. A coenzyme that helps convert CO2 into glucose during photosynthesis.
  12. 31. Process where glucose is converted into energy and lactic acid
  13. 34. Pigment-protein complex in thylakoid membranes that captures light energy and turns it into NADPH
  14. 36. A group of plants that have adapted to survive in hot or dry temperatures, this process minimizes water loss and
  15. 37. A coenzyme that acts as an electron-carrier in biochemical reactions
  16. 39. Four protein complexes within a membrane that transfer electron to make a proton gradient which generates ATP
  17. 40. A plant tissue where the cells are rich in chloroplasts, making it suitable for photosynthesis
Down
  1. 1. Water loss through evaporation usually on the leaves
  2. 2. A coenzyme in all living organisms that can synthesize or break down carbs, fats, and amino acids
  3. 6. Certain environmental conditions that can slow down or restrict photosynthesis, like light intensity, CO2 concentration, and temperature
  4. 8. A microorganism that requires oxygen to grow
  5. 9. A protein that contains a heme groups, allowing it to be a single electron carrier
  6. 10. A pathway that breaks down Glucose into 3-carbon structures
  7. 11. A 3-carbon molecule that is the end of glycolysis, a pathway that breaks down glucose
  8. 12. Pores on plant leaves that allow for gas exchange and water loss
  9. 13. Plants that use a specialized pathway where there is little rain, gathering CO2 at night and closing stoma during the day
  10. 14. An organism that eats other organisms for food
  11. 15. Catalyzes the first step of Carbon Fixation, breaking down carbon dioxide into organic compounds
  12. 17. A graph that shows all the wavelengths of the light the pigment absorbs
  13. 18. Allows microorganisms like yeast to create ethanol and carbon dioxide with energy without oxygen
  14. 20. Plants that use the most common type of photosynthesis, where Rubisco fixes carbon dioxide directly into 3-PGM
  15. 21. A coenzyme that acts as an electron carrier in cellular metabolism
  16. 23. A cycle of reactions that aerobes use to oxidize Acetyl-CoA to make energy.
  17. 24. A stack of thylakoids that allows for the capture of light through high concentrations of chlorophyll
  18. 25. A layer of loosely packed plant cells located on the interior of a leaf that allows for gas exchange
  19. 27. A organism that can grow both in the absence and presence of oxygen
  20. 32. A compound used by cellular organisms to utilize energy, because it has unstable bonds
  21. 33. A flattened membrane within a chloroplast where light reactions take place
  22. 35. A plant cell that regulates whether stoma are open or closed
  23. 38. A protective outer layer on Eukaryotes, specifically plants, animals, and fungi
