Photophosphorylation
Across
- 1. assimilation: reaction occurs when plants are not receiving light
- 5. site of photophosphorylation
- 7. major accessory pigment that absorbs wavelengths chlorophyll cannot absorb
- 8. I: excitation of this photosystem's reaction center drive electrons to ferrodoxin and produce NADPH
- 10. harvesting: complex containing chlorophyll associated with other proteins and membrane
- 11. I: type of reaction center in bacteria that passes electrons through a quinone to an iron-sulfur center
- 12. main light absorbing pigment in photophosphorylation
Down
- 2. center: site where light energy is converted to chemical energy
- 3. heterotrophs: these organisms release carbon dioxide
- 4. the capture of solar energy by photosynthetic organisms and its conversion to chemical energy
- 6. type of chlorophyll that transfers light energy to neighboring chlorophyll
- 9. element that occupies the central position in a chlorophyll molecule
