Photosynthesis

2. Plant cells have 2 that absorb light energy through pigments
5. The scientist who got nobel prize for explaining reductive pentose phosphate cycle
7. Do not require light to work
11. Chemical formula of molecule that donates electrons during the first phase of photosynthesis (hint: is "split")
12. Light reactions take place here
13. Short for the "energy currency of the cell"
15. Cacti use this pathway to survive hot, dry environments
17. Orange pigment molecules
18. The source of oxygen produced during photosynthesis
19. Where an alternate enzyme is used to fix carbon
20. Pores in the leaves that control gas exchange
21. The ultimate energy source (directly or indirectly)

1. Organelle where photosynthesis takes place
3. Each photosystem is adjacent to one of these that are embedded in the thylakoid membrane
4. Unit of wavelength
6. VERY IMPORTANT by-product of the first phase of photosynthesis
7. The purpose of the this phase is to collect solar energy
8. The use of oxygen by plants instead of CO2 where carbon is not "fixed"
9. Short for Nicotinamide Adenine Dinucleotide Phosphate in its reducing form
10. Inside of the chloroplast (semi-liquid portion)
14. Famous enzyme that helps to fix CO2 (catalyzes carboxylation of ribulose bisphosphate)
16. 3-carbon molecule involved in carbon fixation (not a golf tourney)
