Photosynthesis
Across
- 3. The process of using water, carbon dioxide (CO2), and sunlight to produce glucose and oxygen.
- 4. Organisms that go through photosynthesis. examples: plants, some protists (like algae or euglena), and some bacteria.
- 5. Occurs in the stroma (just outside of the thylakoid)
- 7. One billionth of a meter (1/1,000,000,000), used to measure the wavelength of light.
- 11. This is more restrictive than the outer membrane, with transport limited to certain proteins (e.g., nuclear-encoded proteins) that are targeted for passage through transmembrane channels.
- 13. Occur inside the thylakoid.
- 17. Membranes inside where the "light-reactions" occur with the Electron Transport Chain.
- 18. A jelly-like fluid inside surrounding the thylakoids where "The Calvin Cycle" occurs (mostly in Dark)
- 19. The colors of light that the human eye can see.
- 20. Ferredoxin oxidoreductase is also called _____
Down
- 1. Known as the Dark reactions or The Calvin Cycle
- 2. Photons of light (that’s just a fancy way of saying small particles of light) are absorbed by a pigment called ____
- 4. Absorb sunlight, but do not produce energy directly. Ex. chlorophyll B, xanthophyll and carotene.
- 6. Plastoquinone Oxidoreductase is also called ______
- 8. Organelle where photosynthesis occurs.
- 9. Phospholipids is freely permeable to small molecules, also contains transmembrane channels for the import of larger molecules
- 10. Inside of the chloroplast sac is called the ______
- 12. Microscopic holes in the underside of leaves. Allows oxygen to escape, and carbon dioxide to enter. Surrounded by guard cells, which open and close the stomata.
- 14. Stack of thylakoids
- 15. Colors that absorb light. Produces energy from the sunlight it absorbs. EX. chlorophyll a
- 16. Usually refers to xanthophyll and carotene.
