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