Across
  1. 2. -is a process that plants and algae use to turn carbon dioxide from the air into sugar, that is the food autotrophs need to grow
  2. 5. -the synthesis of organic compounds by bacteria or other living organisms using energy derived from reactions involving inorganic chemicals, typically in the absence of sunlight
  3. 7. -Nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate (NADPH) is an essential electron donor in all organisms, and provides the reducing power for anabolic reactions and redox balance
  4. 10. -a metabolic pathway that uses glucose to produce adenosine triphosphate
  5. 12. - 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
  6. 13. -happen in the thylakoid membrane of the chloroplasts and occur in the presence of sunlight. the sunlight is converted to chemical energy during these reactions
  7. 15. - use stored chemical energy from the light-dependent reactions to “fix” CO2 and create a product that can be converted into glucose
  8. 16. -an organism that is able to form nutritional organic substances from simple inorganic substances such as carbon dioxide
  9. 17. -a fat-soluble pigment found naturally in plants. it is the substance that gives plants their green color and helps them create energy
Down
  1. 1. -an organism that cannot produce its own food, instead taking nutrition from other sources of organic carbon
  2. 3. -succulents and grow in dry regions. due to excessive heat the stomata remains closed during the day to reduce transpiration
  3. 4. -the process by which green plants and some other organisms use sunlight to synthesize foods from carbon dioxide and water
  4. 6. - the connective, functionally supportive framework of a biological, cell, tissue or organ
  5. 8. -a compound consisting of an adenosine molecule bonded to three phosphate groups, present in all living tissue
  6. 9. -Nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate, abbreviated NADP+ or, in older notation, TPN, is a cofactor used in anabolic reactions, such as the Calvin cycle and lipid and nucleic acid synthesis
  7. 10. -a plastid that contains chlorophyll and in which photosynthesis takes place
  8. 11. -the main sugar found in your blood. Ii is your body's primary source of energy
  9. 14. - the decomposition or separation of molecules by the action of light
