Photosynthesis
Across
- 1. a compound that absorbs certain wavelengths of visible light
- 4. the synthesis of ATP due to the movement of H+ ions
- 8. sac-like membranous disks within the chloroplast; contain photosystems
- 9. a byproduct released due to photolysis
- 10. end product of the Calvin Cycle
- 12. the packets of energy in the form of light
- 13. the light reaction that traps solar energy and generates ATP and NADPH
- 15. protein complex that pumps H+ into lumen
- 18. 18 of these are required for the fixation of 6 CO2 molecules
- 19. most abundant enzyme on planet earth
- 22. a protein-based complex composed of clusters of pigments
- 23. known as the Z-scheme of electron flow
Down
- 1. a process that is required to replace the excited electrons at PSII
- 2. the light reaction that traps CO2 and produces organic molecules
- 3. the use of photons of light to drive the addition of P to ADP
- 5. stable 3-carbon molecule after short-lived unstable 6-carbon molecule in the Calvin Cycle
- 6. process by which energy from the Sun is converted into chemical energy for growth
- 7. when an electron is moved to a higher energy level
- 11. space between outer and intermembrane of chloroplast
- 14. this is regenerated during the Calvin Cycle
- 16. electron carrier that plays a vital role in cyclic electron flow
- 17. absorbs wavelengths of 680nm
- 20. site of H+ buildup
- 21. the second reaction center in thylakoid membrane
- 23. reduced at the NADP+ reductase and sent to Calvin Cycle
