IntroBio_Photosynthesis
Across
- 2. membranous disks whose membrane is the site of the electron transport chain
- 4. a cycle that creates glucose and consumes ATP
- 7. the type of cells that can open and close to allow gas and water exchange in leaves
- 12. the cycle that requires bacteria to fix nitrogen from N2 gas
- 13. the process that uses sunlight to fix carbon into glucose
- 15. the organelle that contains the photosynthetic proteins and enzymes
- 17. when water evaporates out of the leaves of plants
- 19. the vascular tissue of plants that moves water up from the roots to the leaves
Down
- 1. an important molecule that is produced by the hydrogen gradient that is created during photosynthesis
- 3. the process that reduces nitrates and nitrites
- 5. the cycle that moves carbon dioxide into plants
- 6. one of the most common enzymes on the planet which is critical to get carbon from CO2
- 8. the initial electron donor for the light reaction
- 9. the major energy source that powers the electron transport chain
- 10. a type of gradient that drives the production of ATP
- 11. a nitrogen rich pigment that helps plants to capture light energy
- 14. a compound that is created during the light reaction that stores potential energy for the Calvin cycle
- 16. the vascular tissue of plants that moves glucose away from the leaves
- 18. tiny holes in leaves that allows for gas and water exchange
