Across
- 5. electron carrier that provides high-energy electrons for photosynthesis
- 6. main energy source that cells use for most of their work, made up of adenosine, ribose and 3 phosphates
- 7. a lower-energy molecule that can be converted into ATP by the addition of a phosphate group, made up of adenosine, ribose and 2 phosphates
- 8. a cluster composed of hundreds of chlorophyll molecules and accessory pigments used to harvest light molecules for photosynthesis
- 9. stacks of thylakoids
- 11. A flattened membrane sac inside the chloroplast, used to convert light energy into chemical energy, site of the light reactions
- 12. The fluid of the chloroplast surrounding the thylakoid membrane; involved in the synthesis of organic molecules from carbon dioxide and water (Calvin/Dark reaction)
- 14. reactions of photosynthesis in which energy from ATP and NADPH is used to build high-energy compounds such as sugars, also called dark reaction, no light needed, creates NADP+ and ADP, takes place in the stroma
Down
- 1. organelle that is the site of ATP (energy) production, (converts glucose into ATP)
- 2. process by which plants and some other organisms use light energy to convert water and carbon dioxide into oxygen and high-energy carbohydrates such as sugars and starches steps include: capture light, light dependent reactions, calvin cycle.
- 3. An organelle found only in plant and algae cell, site of photosynthesis occurs
- 4. reactions of photosynthesis that use energy from light to produce ATP and NADPH, also produces O2
- 10. green pigment in plants that absorbs light energy used to carry out photosynthesis, found in the thylakoid of the chloroplast
- 13. one of the carrier molecules that transfers high-energy electrons from chlorophyll to other molecules
