Across
- 4. process by which plants and some other organisms use light energy to power chemical reactions that convert water and carbon dioxide into oxygen and high-energy carbohydrates such as sugars and starches
- 5. saclike body in chloroplasts made of photosynthetic membranes that contain photosystems
- 6. large protein that uses energy from H+ions to bind ADP and a phosphate group together to produce ATP
- 9. reactions of photosynthesis in which energy from ATP and NADPH is used to build high-energy compounds such as sugars
- 10. colored molecule
- 12. region outside the thylakoid membranes in chloroplasts
Down
- 1. reactions of photosynthesis that use energy from light to produce ATP and NADPH
- 2. organism that can capture energy from sunlight or chemicals and use it to produce its own food from inorganic compounds; also called a producer
- 3. principal pigment of plants and other photosynthetic organisms; captures light energy
- 7. one of the carrier molecules that transfers high-energy electrons from chlorophyll to other molecules
- 8. triphosphate one of the principal chemical compounds that living things use to store energy
- 11. organism that obtains energy from the foods it consumes; also called a consumer
