Across
  1. 1. regulating transport into the stroma
  2. 4. Oxygen
  3. 5. is crucial in C4 and CAM plants where it's regenerated from PEP (phosphoenolpyruvate) to shuttle CO2, boosting efficiency
  4. 8. the vital process where plants, algae, and some bacteria use sunlight, water, and carbon dioxide to create their own food (glucose/sugar) and release oxygen as a byproduct, forming the base of most food webs and producing the air we breathe, occurring in chloroplasts via light-dependent and light-independent (Calvin cycle) reactions
  5. 9. converting sunlight, water, and CO2 into energy-rich glucose (food) and oxygen
Down
  1. 2. do not perform photosynthesis
  2. 3. the fluid-filled space within the chloroplast where the Calvin cycle (light-independent reactions) occurs
  3. 6. acts as the energy currency, produced during the light-dependent reactions
  4. 7. carbon dioxide (\(CO_{2}\)), water (\(H_{2}O\)), and light energy
  5. 10. glucose (a sugar for energy) and oxygen
