Across
  1. 5. A flattened membrane sac inside the chloroplast, used to convert light energy to chemical energy.
  2. 9. use energy from light to transform carbon dioxide and water into sugar and oxygen.
  3. 12. Where the Calvin Cycle takes place.
  4. 14. what products from The light reactions transfer to the Calvin cycle
  5. 16. The fluid of the chloroplast surrounding the thylakoid membrane; involved in the synthesis of organic molecules from carbon dioxide and water.
  6. 17. The conversion of light energy to chemical energy that is stored in glucose or other organic compounds; occurs in plants, algae, and certain prokaryotes.

  1. 1. The first of two major stages in photosynthesis (preceding the Calvin cycle).These reactions, which occur on the thylakoid membranes of the chloroplast and convert solar energy to the chemical energy of ATP and NADPH, releasing oxygen in the process.are both products of the light reactions and are used to power the Calvin cycle.
  2. 2. absorbs sunlight and uses it to drive the synthesis of organic compounds from carbon dioxide and water.
  3. 3. pores on the leaf where O2 exits and CO2 enters
  4. 4. provides the carbon atoms that are incorporated into sugars in photosynthesis.
  5. 6. Provides electrons for the light reactions to start the process of photosynthesis
  6. 7. a pair of curved cells that surround a stoma, becoming larger or smaller according to the pressure within the cells.
  7. 8. A green pigment located in membranes within the chloroplasts of plants and algae. Chlorophyll a participates directly in the light reactions, which convert solar energy to chemical energy.
  8. 10. the process by which green plants and some other organisms use sunlight to synthesize foods from carbon dioxide and water. Photosynthesis in plants generally involves the green pigment chlorophyll and generates oxygen as a byproduct.
  9. 11. Reactions of photosynthesis that use energy from light to produce ATP and NADPH.
  10. 13. The second of two major stages in photosynthesis (following the light reactions).
  11. 15. an electron carrier that picks up electrons in the light reactions and releases them in the Calvin cycle.
