Across
- 3. organism that is able to capture energy from sunlight or chemicals and use it to produce its own food; also called a producer
- 10. process used by plants and autotrophs to capture light energy and use it to power chemical reactions that convert carbon dioxide -rich carbohydrates such as sugars and water into oxygen
- 13. set of reactions in photosynthesis that use energy from light to produce ATP and NADPH
- 14. Fluid portion of the chloroplast; outside of the thylakoid
- 15. Principal pigment of plants and other photosynthetic organisms
- 17. Saclike photosynthetic membranes found in chloroplasts
- 18. Carrier molecule that transfers high-energy electrons from chlorophyll to other molecules
- 19. organism that obtains food by consuming other living things; also called a consumer
Down
- 1. when a phosphoryl group is transferred from a substrate to ADP or GDP to form ATP or GTP, coupled with the release of free energy
- 2. set of reactions in photosynthesis that do not require light; energy from ATP and NADPH is used to build high-energy compounds such as sugar
- 4. Gain of electrons
- 5. Process in which chemical energy is used to produce carbohydrates
- 6. Cluster of chlorophyll and proteins found in thylakoids
- 7. the light-independent reactions of photosynthesis in which energy from ATP and NADPH is used to build high-energy compounds such as sugar
- 8. Loss of electrons
- 9. light-absorbing molecules used by plants to gather the sun's energy
- 11. Compound used by cells to store and release energy
- 12. series of electron carrier proteins that shuttle high-energy electrons during ATP-generating reactions
- 16. Cluster of proteins that span the thylakoid membrane and allow hydrogen ions (H+) to pass through it
