Photosynthesis BH

1. organelle found in cells of plants and some other organisms that captures energy from sunlight and converts it into chemical energy
3. carrier molecule that transfers high energy electrons from chlorophyll to other molecules
6. process used by plants and other autotrophs to capture light energy and use it to power chemical reactions that convert carbon dioxide and water into oxygen and energy-rich carbohydrates such as sugars and starches
7. light-independent reactions of photosynthesis in which energy from ATP and NADPH is used to build high energy compounds such as sugar
9. principal pigment of plants and other photosynthetic organisms
12. organism that is able to capture energy from sunlight or chemicals and use it to produce its own food from inorganic compounds, also called a producer
13. series of electron carrier proteins that shuttle high-energy electrons during ATP-generating reactions
14. saclike photosynthetic membranes found in chloroplasts
15. an enzyme for the synthesis of ATP; consists of a cluster of proteins that spans the cell membrane and allow hydrogen ions (H+) to pass

2. organism that obtains food by consuming other living things, also called consumers
4. cluster of chlorophyll and proteins found in the thylakoids
5. light-absorbing molecules used by plants to gather the sun’s energy
8. fluid portion of the chloroplast, outside of the thylakoids
10. set of reactions in photosynthesis that use energy from light to produce ATP and NADPH
11. compound used by cells to store and release energy
