Across
  1. 5. an organism that is able to form nutritional organic substances from simple inorganic substances such as carbon dioxide.
  2. 8. a colorless, odorless reactive gas, the chemical element of atomic number 8 and the life-supporting component of the air
  3. 9. a nucleotide that consists of three main
  4. 10. (in green plant cells) a plastid that contains chlorophyll and in which photosynthesis takes place.
  5. 11. pouch-like sacs that are bound to a membrane in the chloroplasts of a plant cell
  6. 12. the process by which green plants and some other organisms use sunlight to synthesize foods from carbon dioxide and water. Photosynthesis in plants generally involves the green pigment chlorophyll and generates oxygen as a byproduct.
Down
  1. 1. an organism deriving its nutritional requirements from complex organic substances.
  2. 2. the supportive tissue of an epithelial organ, tumor, gonad, etc., consisting of connective tissues and blood vessels
  3. 3. carbon atoms from CO 2 ‍ are fixed (incorporated into organic molecules) and used to build three-carbon sugars
  4. 4. a green pigment, present in all green plants and in cyanobacteria, responsible for the absorption of light to provide energy for photosynthesis. Its molecule contains a magnesium atom held in a porphyrin ring.
  5. 6. the reaction which occurs as the first phase of photosynthesis, in which energy in the form of light is absorbed and converted to chemical energy in the form of ATP.
  6. 7. is the main type of sugar in the blood
