photosynthesis
Across
- 3. main photosynthetic pigment in plants algae and cyano-bacteria.
- 4. passive transporter in which hydrogen ions flow in and they help in the ATP synthesis
- 6. an organic molecule that absorbs light of certain wavelengths.
- 7. in photosynthetic cells a cluster of pigments and proteins that as a unit converts light energy to chemical energy in photosynthesis
- 8. organelle of photosynthesis in plants and some protists.
- 10. the metabolic pathway by which photoautotrophs capture light energy and use it to make sugar from CO2 and water.
- 14. any light driven phosphorylation reaction.
- 15. process by which carbon from an inorganic source such as CO2 is incorporated into an organic compound.
- 16. a process in which one substance or molecule is reduced and another oxidized.
- 17. reaction in which light energy breaks down a molecule.
- 18. is the distance between the crests of two successive waves of light.
- 19. a chloroplasts inner membrane system (flattened sacs) pigments and enzymes in the membrane function in the formation of ATP and NADPH
- 20. transport chain it couples the reaction between an electron donor and an electron acceptor.
Down
- 1. its a coenzyme that accepts electrons and hydrogen ions becoming NADPH.
- 2. photosynthetic autotroph.
- 5. its an organism that can make its own food.
- 8. cyclic pathway that forms glucose and carbon dioxide.
- 9. orange and red pigmentation in plants
- 10. the electroorganic energy of light is organized in packets called
- 11. a chemical compound that serves as an intermediate in several central metabolic pathways in all organisms.
- 12. ribulose bio-phosphate carboxylase or RUBP.
- 13. lets water vapor and gases diffuse across the epidermis of a leaf or primary stem
