Photosynthesis
Across
- 3. A reaction in which a complex molecule is broken down to simpler ones, involving the addition of water
- 6. A green pigment responsible for light capture in photosynthesis in algae and plants
- 10. The reaction which converts light energy into chemical energy
- 11. A yellow, orange or red plant pigment used as an accessory pigment in photosynthesis
- 12. The splitting of water using light energy
- 13. The process by which bacteria uses energy from inorganic substances are used to make sugars
- 14. A pore in the epidermis of the leaf, bounded by two guard cells
- 15. "Packets" of energy that travel in waves which compose light
- 16. An organism that can trap an inorganic carbon source using energy from light or from chemicals
Down
- 1. An organism that cannot produce its own food, instead taking nutrition from other sources
- 2. A cycle of reactions in photosynthesis in which carbon dioxide is fixed into carbohydrate
- 4. A pigment that is not essential to photosynthesis but which absorbs light of different wavelengths and passes the energy to chlorophyll a
- 5. Adenine diphosphate
- 7. A cluster of light-harvesting accessory pigments surrounding a primary pigment or reaction center
- 8. The product formed from photosynthesis which plants use as food
- 9. The matrix of chloroplast in which the light independent reactions photosynthesis occur
- 13. photosynthetic organelle in eukaryotes
