Photosynthesis
Across
- 2. gas and plant expels them
- 4. a basic structural unit of the thylakoid membrane network of plant chloroplast
- 5. the fluid filled internal space of the chlorplast which encircle the grana and the thylakoids
- 6. one billionth of a meter used to measure the wavelengths
- 10. usually refers to xanthophyll and carotene
- 11. color that absorb light produces energy from the sunlight it absorbs
- 14. a jelly like fluid inside surrounding thylakoids where the Calvin cycle occurs
- 15. a biochemical mechanism in plants by which chlorophyll absorbs light energy for photosynthesis. There are two such mechanisms
- 17. organelle where photosynthesis occurs
- 18. contains proteins and is therefore permeable to small molecules
- 19. which open and close stomata
Down
- 1. the inner membrane of the chloroplast forms a border to the stroma it regulates passage of materials in and out of the chloroplast
- 3. occurs in the stroma
- 5. microscopic holes in the underside of leaves allows oxygen to escape and carbon dioxide to enter
- 7. organisms that go through photosynthesis
- 8. dioxide colorless odorless gas
- 9. the colors of the light the human eye can see
- 12. the process of using water carbon dioxide and sunlight to produce glucose
- 13. pigments absorb sunlight but do not produce energy directly
- 16. membranes inside where the light reactions occur with the electron transport chain
