CH9 Photosynthesis

4. A green molecule found in photosystems that can capture light energy.
5. Any organism that can make its own carbohydrates - there are photoautotrophs and chemoautotrophs.
6. An enzyme that makes ATP, found in the thylakoid membrane (and in mitochondria).
8. This molecule is like a fully charged battery - it is the power source for all cells.
9. What does the H in NADPH represent?
12. The phase of photosynthesis that uses carbon dioxide, NADPH, and ATP to make carbohydrates.
13. A series of proteins that have the ability to move electrons.
17. The number of carbon and oxygen atoms in one glucose molecule.
18. This organelle is the site of photosynthesis.

1. This molecule is like a partially charged battery - it is fully charged when a third phosphate is added to it.
2. The phase of photosynthesis that produces oxygen, ATP and NADPH.
3. These molecules can capture and hold high-energy electrons.
7. The site of the light-independent reactions.
9. Any organism that can not make its own carbohydrates and must consume them.
10. Another name for the light-independent reaction.
11. The number of hydrogen atoms in one glucose molecule.
14. Making these is the sole purpose of photosynthesis.
15. The abbreviated name for one of the enzymes used in the Calvin cycle when building carbon containing molecules.
16. The site of the light-dependent reactions.
