Photosynthesis Crossword

6. Involves a photosynthetic electron transport chain. This produces high energy intermediates, ATP and NADPH. Oxidation of water with oxygen produced as a by-product. Light dependent reactions.
8. The conversion of light energy to chemical energy (stored in the bonds of carbohydrates)
10. Uses the ATP and NADPH produced by photophosphorylation to synthesize organic carbon from inorganic CO2. This is also called carbon fixation. Reduction of CO2 to form carbohydrates. Light independent reactions.
11. The attachment of CO2 to an organic compound
13. Area with HIGH H+ concentration during photophosphorylation
14. Term to collectively refer to the 2 photosystems of the light dependent reactions because of how they work together to raise the energy of electrons
15. Plant carbon source
16. Input into photophosphorylation that isn’t high in energy

1. Another high energy intermediate that is used in anabolic reactions (the Calvin Cycle). Similar to NADH but with an extra phosphate group.
2. Site of photosynthesis
3. Plant energy source
4. Plant electron source
5. Enzyme that catalyzes the first rection of the Calvin cycle
7. Light dependent reactions location
9. Product/output of photophosphorylation that is not a form of energy or an electron carrier
12. Light independent reactions location (also where ATP is made during photophosphorylation)
