Photosynthesis
Across
- 5. organism that makes its own food using carbon from inorganic molecules and energy from light or chemical reactions
- 6. any light-driven phosphorylation reaction
- 7. metabolic pathway by which organisms can harness the enegy of light to build organic molecules from inorganic raw materials
- 8. carbon-fixing enzyme of light-independent photosynthesis reactions
- 9. packets in which the electromagnetic energy of light is organized
- 11. reaction in which light energy breaks down a molecule
- 12. semifluid matrix between the thylakoid membrane and the 2 outer membranes of a chloropĺast
- 14. cluster of pigments and proteins that, as a unit converts light energy into chemical energy in photosynthesis
Down
- 1. nucleotide that consists of an adenine base, the 5-carbon sugar ribose, and 3 phosphate groups
- 2. organelle that specializes in photosynthesis in plants and many protists
- 3. photosynthetic autotroph, nearly in all plants, most algae and few bacteria
- 4. organic molecule that selectively absorbs light of specific wavelengths
- 6. product of the phosphoglycerate receivment of the phosphate group from ATP and H and electronS from NADPH
- 10. distance betweeen the crests of 2 successive waves of light
- 13. electrons pass from one molecule of the elecctron transfer chain to the next
