Across
- 2. sac like photosynthetic membranes found in chloroplasts
- 6. ability to convert the energy provided by sunlight to high energy sugars and starches that can be used for food
- 8. series of electron carrying proteins which transport high energy electrons while generating atp
- 10. light absorbing molecules used by plants to gather the sun's energy
- 11. the light independent reaction in photosynthesis where high energy compounds are constructed
- 12. (nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate) carrier molecules that transfer high energy electrons from chlorophyll to other molecules
- 13. cluster of proteins that span the thylakoid membrane and allow hydrogen ions to pass through
Down
- 1. set of reactions in photosynthesis that use energy from light to produce ATP and NADPH
- 3. set of reactions in photosynthesis that don't require light and use atp and nadph to build high energy compounds
- 4. a compound used by cells to store and release energy
- 5. liquid portion of the chloroplast
