Across
  1. 7. - organism that is able to capture energy from sunlight or chemicals and use it to produce its own food from inorganic compounds; also called a producer
  2. 8. (ATP) - compound used by cells to store and release energy
  3. 10. - saclike photosynthetic membranes found in chloroplasts
  4. 12. - organism that obtains food by consuming other living things; also called a consumer
  5. 13. - light-absorbing molecules used by plants to gather the sun’s energy
  6. 14. - fluid portion of the chloroplast; outside of the thylakoids

  1. 1. - process used by plants and other autotrophs to capture light energy and use it to power chemical reactions that convert carbon dioxide and water into oxygen and energy-rich carbohydrates such as sugars and starches
  2. 2. - organelle found in cells of plants and some other organisms that captures the energy from sunlight and converts it into chemical energy
  3. 3. reactions - set of reactions in photosynthesis that use energy from light to produce ATP and NADPH
  4. 4. - principal pigment of plants and other photosynthetic organisms
  5. 5. - (nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate) carrier molecule that transfers high-energy electrons from chlorophyll to other molecules
  6. 6. - cell organelle that converts the chemical energy stored in food into compounds that are more convenient for the cell to use
  7. 7. (ADP) - an important organic compound in metabolism and is essential to the flow of energy in living cells; formed when ATP ‘loses’ a phosphate group
  8. 9. - the light-independent reactions of photosynthesis in which energy from ATP and NADPH is used to build high-energy compounds such as sugar
  9. 11. (grana) - interconnected, arranged stacks of thylakoids
