Across
  1. 3. organism that consumes organic substances or other organisms for food
  2. 4. light-independent reactions of photosynthesis that convert carbon dioxide from the atmosphere into carbohydrates using the energy and reducing power of ATP and NADPH
  3. 5. molecule that is capable of absorbing certain wavelengths of light and reflecting others (which accounts for its color)
  4. 7. range of all possible frequencies of radiation
  5. 9. fluid-filled space surrounding the grana inside a chloroplast where the light-independent reactions of photosynthesis take place
  6. 12. second stage of photosynthesis, though which carbon dioxide is used to build carbohydrate molecules using energy from ATP and NADPH
  7. 14. disc-shaped, membrane-bound structure inside a chloroplast where the light-dependent reactions of photosynthesis take place; stacks of ________ are called grana
  8. 15. complex of chlorophyll molecules and other organic molecules that is assembled around a special pair of chlorophyll molecules and a primary electron acceptor; capable of gain of electron(s) by an atom or molecule under going, oxidation and reduction
  9. 16. distinct quantity or "packet" of light energy
Down
  1. 1. first stage of photosynthesis where certain wavelengths of the visible light are absorbed to form two energy-carrying molecules (ATP and NADPH)
  2. 2. organism capable of producing its own organic compounds from sunlight
  3. 6. process of converting inorganic CO2 gas into organic compounds
  4. 8. stack of thylakoids located inside a chloroplast
  5. 10. group of proteins, chlorophyll, and other pigments that are used in the light-dependent reactions of photosynthesis to absorb light energy and convert it into chemical energy
  6. 11. organelle in which photosynthesis takes place
  7. 13. distance between consecutive points of equal position (two crests or two troughs) of a wave in a graphic representation; inversely proportional to the energy of the radiation
