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