Across
  1. 5. Process by which plants and some other organisms use light energy to convert water and carbon dioxide into oxygen and high-energy carbohydrates such as sugars and starches
  2. 7. the chemical reactions that convert carbon dioxide and other compounds into glucose.( AKA light-independent reactions)
  3. 10. process in which light energy is absorbed and converted into ATP and NADPH.
Down
  1. 1. series of reactions in a membrane that transfers electrons from one chemical to another across the thylakoids membrane and coupled with the buildup of protons (H+ Ions) creates ATP.
  2. 2. Principal pigment of plants and other photosynthetic organisms; absorbs light energy for photosynthesis.
  3. 3. (Adenosine DiPhosphate) low energy molecule.
  4. 4. Process of synthesizing ATP from organic chemicals instead of light.
  5. 6. Photosynthetic membranes found in chloroplasts that contains the components for photosynthesis.
  6. 8. refers to the fluid area surrounding the grana within the chloroplast. (site of LIR)
  7. 9. (Adenosine TriPhosphate)high energy molecule necessary for cellular process.
