Across
  1. 3. colour of light that is absorbed by chlorophyll
  2. 4. plural of granum
  3. 6. of chloroplasts; each is composed of a light-harvesting complex of pigments (mainly chlorophylls) and various proteins and a reaction centre that converts light energy to the chemical energy of energised electrons
  4. 7. the strength or amount of light produced by a specific light source
  5. 11. a curved cell that surround a stoma which becomes larger or smaller according to the pressure within the cells
  6. 13. cycle of reactions occurring in the stroma of chloroplasts in the light-independent stage of photosynthesis during which carbon dioxide is progressively reduced to sugar water
  7. 14. a stack of flattened fluid-filled membranous sacs that are located within plant chloroplasts
  8. 15. shorthand for ribulose bisphosphate; a 5 carbon compound involved in the Calvin cycle which is part of the light independent reactions of photosynthesis
  9. 16. shorthand for adenosine diphosphate
  10. 20. a cluster of proteins that transfer electrons through a membrane to create a gradient of protons that creates ATP or energy that is needed in metabolic processes for cellular function
  11. 22. the organelle found in plant cells that contain chlorophyll and in which photosynthesis takes place
  12. 23. colour of light that is reflected by chlorophyll at 450 nm in wavelength
  13. 24. one of the structures embedded in the thylakoid
  14. 26. an opening through which water vapour and carbon dioxide can move
  15. 28. absorbed by chlorophyll and is used to convert carbon dioxide and water into glucose
  16. 29. shorthand for nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate hydrogen
Down
  1. 1. transferred in the electron transport chain to generate ATP
  2. 2. how waves of light are measured
  3. 5. the semi-fluid substance between the grana
  4. 7. a molecule that plays a role in transporting electrons through the electron transport chain
  5. 8. colour of light that is reflected by chlorophyll at 700nm in wavelength
  6. 9. flow down through ATP synthase complexes and ATP production occurs
  7. 10. a simple sugar which is an important energy source in living organisms and is a component of many carbohydrates
  8. 12. short hand for nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate
  9. 15. organelle containing RNA that are major sites of protein production in cells in both eukaryotes and prokaryotes
  10. 17. a layer of cells in the interior of leaves
  11. 18. a flattened sac or vesicle lined with a pigmented membrane that is the site of photosynthesis
  12. 19. a green pigment which is responsible for the absorption of light to provide energy for photosynthesis
  13. 21. taken in during photosynthesis along with water and turned in two sugar
  14. 24. glyceraldehyde 3-phosphate; the metabolite that occurs as an intermediate in several central pathways of all organisms
  15. 25. multiple of stoma
  16. 27. shorthand for adenosine triphosphate an energy rich molecule generated in cellular respiration and an immediate source of energy for cells
