Photosynthesis Vocab
Across
- 1. (adenosine triphosphate) high energy molecule nesessary for cellular processes
- 4. (adenosine diphosphate) low energy molecule
- 7. process of synthesizing ATP from organic chemicals instead of light.
- 10. principle pigment of plants and other organisms; absorbs light energy for photosynthesis
Down
- 2. process by which plants and some other organisms use light energy to convert water and carbon dioxide into oxygen and high-energy carbohydrates such as sugars and starches
- 3. cycle the chemical reactions that converts carbon dioxide and other compounds into glucose
- 5. reactions process by which light energy is absorbed and converted into atp and nadph
- 6. photosynthetic membranes found in chloroplasts that contains the components for photosynthesis
- 8. refers to the fluid area surrounding the grana within the chloroplast (site of lir)
- 9. transport chain series of reactions in a membrane that transfers electrons from one chemical to another across the thylakoid membrane and coupled with the buildup of protons, creates atp.
