photosynthesis
Across
- 3. membrane-bound compartments inside chloroplasts and cyanobacteria
- 4. the greater concentration of protons on one side of the membrane and a lower concentration of protons on the opposite side
- 6. a plastid that contains chlorophyll and in which photosynthesis takes place
- 7. a series of protein complexes and other molecules which transfer electrons from electron donors to electron acceptors
- 8. the initial energy that starts the cycle of photosynthesis
- 9. a pigment present in all green plants and a few other organisms
- 10. a type of sugar and the primary source of energy for living organisms
- 11. the process by which plants fix atmospheric carbon to form organic compounds
Down
- 1. functional and structural units of protein complexes involved in photosynthesis
- 2. certain photochemical reactions involved in photosynthesis, the main process by which plants acquire energy
- 5. reactant that provides the hydrogen atoms needed to create glucose
- 6. the cycle of enzyme-catalyzed dark reactions of photosynthesis
