Across
  1. 1. this is the abbreviation for the product of the Calvin cycle
  2. 4. this is the primary pigment used in plants
  3. 5. this enzyme fixes CO2 to a 5 carbon molecule in the Calvin cycle
  4. 6. these "windows" allow gases into and out of the plant
  5. 7. the number of Calvin cycles needed to form sugars and regenerate the cycles
  6. 8. colored molecules that absorb light
  7. 9. this is the part of the chloroplast where the light rxn takes place
  8. 11. this machine forms ATP by adding an phosphate to ADP with the power from flowing hydrogens
  9. 14. this is the energy molecule that powers cells
  10. 15. a (singular) stack of thylakoids
  11. 17. this is the raw material that enters the Calvin cycle
Down
  1. 2. this is the second "system" of two that excites an electron so it can form NADPH
  2. 3. when water is split, this part of it enters a photosystem
  3. 8. this is the first "system" of two that transfers sunlight energy to an electron
  4. 10. this is the part of the chloroplast where the Calvin cycle takes place
  5. 12. this is the transport molecule that will take an excited electron from the light rxn to the Calvin cycle
  6. 13. this is pumped across the membrane by the energy of the excited electron
  7. 16. this is the 5 carbon molecule that CO2 is "fixed" to at the beginning of the Calvin cycle
