Across
  1. 2. When CO2 enters the Calvin cycle
  2. 4. An organism that gets food from other organisms; consumers on a food chain
  3. 5. An electron acceptor in a light reaction
  4. 6. Structures filled with chlorophyll where the light reactions in photosynthesis occurs
  5. 10. An organism that uses sunlight to make its food
  6. 11. Cells in the mesophyll that contain chloroplasts and perform the majority of photosynthesis
  7. 13. Mesophyll Lower layer, less dense with more water to make gas diffusion more efficient
  8. 14. pores on the bottom of leaves that open and close, allowing O2 and CO2 to diffuse in and out of the leaf
  9. 16. The first stage of photosynthesis; when light energy is converted to chemical energy.
  10. 17. Middle layer of plant leaves
  11. 18. Mesophyll Upper layer, more densely packed with mesophyll cells, more chloroplasts
Down
  1. 1. A dense fluid on the inner most layer of the chloroplasts; they are important in the Calvin cycle
  2. 3. An organism that makes its energy/food
  3. 7. A set of reactions that assembles glucose
  4. 8. The process in which, plants, algae, and other prokaryotes convert light energy to chemical energy using water and oxygen
  5. 9. A light-absorbing pigment, gives plants a green colour
  6. 12. This is what NADP+ turns into after it accepts electrons, stores energy for Calvin Cycle
  7. 15. Structures suspended in the stroma, that contain grana
