Photosynthesis- Chapter 9
Across
- 4. Organism that obtains food by consuming other living things, also called consumers
- 5. Fluid portion of the chloroplast, outside of the thylakoids
- 6. Light-absorbing molecules used by plants to gather the sun's energy
- 8. Principal pigment of plants and other photosynthetic organisms
- 9. Saclike photosynthetic membranes found chloroplasts
- 11. organism that can capture energy from sunlight or chemicals and use it to produce its own food from inorganic compounds, also called a producer
- 13. Cluster of chlorophyll and proteins found in the thylakoids
- 14. Set of reactions in photosynthesis that use energy from light to produce ATP and NADPH
Down
- 1. A carrier molecule that transfers high energy electrons from chlorophyll to other molecules
- 2. organelle found in cells of plants and some other organisms that capture energy from sunlight and convert it to chemical energy
- 3. Series of electron carrier proteins that shuttle high-energy electrons during ATP-generating reactions
- 6. Process used by plants and other autotrophs to capture light energy and use it to power chemical reactions
- 7. Cycle Light-independent reactions of photosynthesis which energy from ATP and NADPH is used
- 10. compound used by cells to store and release energy
- 12. an enzyme for the synthesis of ATP
