Across
- 2. 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
- 4. refers to the colorless fluid surrounding the grana within the chloroplast
- 8. a series of biochemical reactions in photosynthesis not requiring light to proceed
- 10. a cluster of proteins that transfer electrons through a membrane within mitochondria
- 12. a cluster of proteins that transfer electrons through a membrane within mitochondria
Down
- 1. a biochemical mechanism in plants by which chlorophyll absorbs light energy for photosynthesis
- 3. a cluster of proteins that transfer electrons through a membrane within mitochondria
- 5. the process by which green plants and some other organisms use sunlight to synthesize foods from carbon dioxide and water
- 6. the natural coloring matter of animal or plant tissue 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
- 7. dependent the energy from the sunlight is saved in the form of ATP and NADPH
- 9. adenosine triphosphate (ATP), energy-carrying molecule found in the cells of all living things
- 11. Nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate
