Across
- 3. The most abundant enzyme on Earth. An enzyme that fixes CO2 to RuBP in the Calvin cycle.
- 5. (Two words) Coloured chemicals within the photosystem arrays that absorb light at different wavelengths and then pass energy onto chlorophyll a
- 7. The production of energetic electrons in reaction centers through the absorption of light.
- 10. The molecule that reacts with CO2 during carbon fixation.
- 11. The splitting of water.
- 12. (Two words) A graph that profiles the relative effectiveness of different wavelengths of radiation in driving a particular process (Photosynthesis).
- 14. (Word and number)The first photosystem in the light-dependent reactions - it uses electrons from photolysis, and produces ATP.
- 15. The organelles that capture the light energy from sunlight and convert it into chemical energy in a process called photosynthesis
- 17. (Two words) Factors that affect the rate of photosynthesis: temperature, light intensity, carbon dioxide concentration
- 19. (Two words) The incorporation of inorganic CO2 into an organic molecule.
- 21. (Word-number-word)Intermediate compound produced during the Calvin cycle in the light-independent stage of photosynthesis.
- 22. The chemical medium between the inner chloroplast membrane and the thylakoid membrane.
- 23. The membrane that is the site of photosynthesis.
Down
- 1. the production of ATP using the energy of sunlight.
- 2. (Two words) the name of the reactions within photosynthesis that use light to generate ATP and reduced NADP for the second phase of photosynthesis..
- 4. A technique that is used to separate the components of a mixture based on the tendency of each component to travel or be drawn across the surface of another material.
- 6. (Two words) Coloured chemicals that absorb light energy and use it to carry out photosynthesis. Contained in thylakoid membranes in chloroplast. Examples are chlorophyll a, chlorophyll b, carotenoids, and xanthophylls.
- 8. (Two words) A transmembrane protein complex in the thylakoid membrane containing chlorophyll a whose electrons absorb light energy and become high energy electrons which are passed to the primary electron acceptor in the Electron Transport Chain (ETC), thus beginning the process of photosynthesis.
- 9. (Two words) A graph plotting the range of a pigment's ability to absorb various wavelengths of light.
- 13. A numerical value that can be used to identify photosynthetic pigment. The value is created by using measurements from chromatography in this equation: Distance travelled by substance / distance travelled by solvent
- 16. (Two words)an intermediate in the Calvin cycle, also known as glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate.
- 18. (Two words) The use of ATP and reduced NADP in the stroma to regenerate RuBP and generate carbohydrates in the light independent stage of photosynthesis.
- 20. The process of making ATP using the energy stored in a proton gradient.
