photosynthesis
Across
- 3. The light dependent reactions are chemical reactions requiring electromagnetic energy
- 6. having cells that lack membrane-bound nuclei
- 10. disc shaped portion of chloroplast found in stacks called grana
- 11. is a high energy electron carrier used in reduction
- 12. loss of electrons
- 13. the sugar that is the product of photosynthesis
- 14. are photynthic roganisms wich convert light energy into chemical energy they need to develop grow and reproduce
- 15. set of chemical reactions performed by the plants to reduce carbon dioxide and other compounds into glucose
Down
- 1. ATP and NADPH are used to fix into carbohydrates takes place in the chloroplast stroma
- 2. formation of compounds in plants aided by radiant energy
- 4. a stack of thylakoids
- 5. stands for adenosine triphosphate
- 7. stands for adenosine diphosphate a product of the calvin cycle that is used in the light-independent reactions
- 8. is the primary pigment used in photosynthesis. Plants contain two main forms of chlorophyll: a & b. Chlorophyll has a hydrocarbon tail that anchors it to an integral protein in the thylakoid membrane of the chloroplast. Chlorophyll is the source of the green color of plants and certain other autotrophs.
- 9. organelle in which photosynthesis takes place
