Photosynthesis
Across
- 3. An organism that can trap an inorganic carbon source using energy from light or from chemicals
- 4. The reaction which uses stored chemical energy to fix CO2 and create a product which can be converted into glucose
- 5. Adenine diphosphate
- 8. A yellow, orange or red plant pigment used as an accessory pigment in photosynthesis
- 9. A green pigment responsible for light capture in photosynthesis in algae and plants
- 11. A pigment that is not essential to photosynthesis but which absorbs light of different wavelengths and passes the energy to chlorophyll a
- 13. A reaction in which a complex molecule is broken down to simpler ones, involving the addition of water
- 14. The product formed from photosynthesis which plants use as food
- 15. The process by which bacteria uses energy from inorganic substances are used to make sugars
- 16. A pore in the epidermis of the leaf, bounded by two guard cells
- 17. A cycle of reactions in photosynthesis in which carbon dioxide is fixed into carbohydrate
Down
- 1. An organism that cannot produce its own food, instead taking nutrition from other sources
- 2. "Packets" of energy that travel in waves which compose light
- 6. The splitting of water using light energy
- 7. A cluster of light-harvesting accessory pigments surrounding a primary pigment or reaction center
- 10. The matrix of chloroplast in which the light independent reactions photosynthesis occur
- 12. photosynthetic organelle in eukaryotes
