photosynthesis
Across
- 3. an organism that obtains organic food molecules by eating other organisms or their byproducts and that cannot synthesize organic compounds from inorganic material
- 5. a biochemical pathway of photosynthesis in which carbon dioxide is converted into glucose using ATP
- 7. the process by which plants, algae, and some bacteria use sunlight, carbon dioxide, and water to produce carbohydrates and oxygen
- 10. a substance that gives another substance or a mixture its color
- 11. a stack of thylakoids in a chloroplast
- 13. a membrane system found within chloroplast that contains the components for photosynthesis
- 14. a class of pigments present mostly in plants and that aid in photosynthesis
- 15. the initial reactions in photosynthesis, which are triggered by the absorption of lightby photosystem I and II and the synthesize of ATP through chemiosmosis
- 17. in chloroplasts and mitochondria, a process in which the movement of protons down their concentration gradient across a membrane is coupled to the synthesis of ATP
- 18. a series of molecules, found in the inner membranes of mitochondria and chloroplasts, through which electrons pass in a process that causes protons to build up on one side of the membrane
- 19. a carbon-fixing process in which carbon dioxide is bound to a compound to form a four carbon intermediate
Down
- 1. in plants the solution that surrounds the thylakoids in a chloroplast
- 2. a class of pigments present mostly in plants and that aid in photosynthesis
- 4. a green pigment that is present in most plant and algae cells and some bacteria,that gives plants their characteristic green color, and that absorbs light to provide energy for photosynthesis
- 6. an organism that produces its own nutrients from inorganic substances or from the environment instead of consuming other organisms
- 7. in chloroplasts, an accepted of electrons lost from chlorophyll;found in the thylakoid membrane
- 8. one of many openings in a leaf or a stem of a plant that enable gas exchange to occur
- 9. the synthesis of organic compound from carbon dioxide, such as in photosynthesis
- 12. an organelle found in plant and algae cells where photosynthesis occurs
- 16. a water-conserving,carbon-fixing process;CAM plants take in carbon at night and fix it into various organic compunds and release it during the day
