PHOTOSYNTHESIS
Across
- 1. an organelle that specializes in photosynthesis in plants and many protist
- 3. electromagnetic energy of light organized in packets
- 6. acts in the cyclic pathway using electron energy to move hydrogen ions into the thylakoid compartment
- 10. make sugars from CO2 and H2O using energy of sunglight
- 12. process by which a molecule becomes broken down by light energy
- 13. organic molecule that selectively aborbs light of specific wavelenghts
- 14. two three-carbon molecules of PGA
Down
- 1. build sugars in the stroma of chloroplast
- 2. enzyme that fixes carbon by attaching CO2 to five carbon RuBP, or ribulose biphosphate
- 4. is the most common photosynthetic pigment in plants,photosintetic protist and cyanobacteria
- 5. light-driven reaction that attaches phosphate to a molecule
- 7. extracting carbon atoms from an inorganic source and incorporating them into an organic molecule
- 8. coenzyme that accpets electrons and hydrogen ions
- 9. semifluid matrix
- 11. self-nourishing organisms
