- 5. - adenosine triphosphate.
- 7. the process by which green plants and some other organisms use sunlight to synthesize foods from carbon dioxide and water.
- 8. synthesis a protein that catalyzes the formation of the energy storage molecule adenosine triphosphate
- 11. chemical reactions that convert carbon dioxide and other compounds into glucose.

Down
- 1. series of biochemical reactions in photosynthesis requiring light energy that is captured by light-absorbing pigments
- 2. a green pigment, present in all green plants and in cyanobacteria, responsible for the absorption of light to provide energy for photosynthesis. Its molecule contains a magnesium atom held in a porphyrin ring.
- 3. the natural coloring matter of animal or plant tissue:
- 4. the supportive tissue of an epithelial organ, tumor, gonad, etc., consisting of connective tissues and blood vessels:
- 6. a biochemical mechanism in plants by which chlorophyll absorbs light energy for photosynthesis. The electron transport chain involves a series of redox reactions that relies on protein complexes to transfer electrons from a donor molecule to an acceptor molecule.
- 9. conversion of solar energy to chemical energy.
- 10. each of a number of flattened sacs inside a chloroplast, bounded by pigmented membranes on which the light reactions of photosynthesis take place, and arranged in stacks or grana:
