Across
- 3. Greek root khloros meaning “green”; Greek root phyllon meaning "leaf"
- 6. an organelle in plant and algae cells that converts energy from sunlight into chemical energy that the plant can use
- 8. is formed by the removal of a phosphate from adenosine triphosphate. It is composed of adenine, ribose, and two phosphate groups.
- 9. the fluid portion of the chloroplast that surrounds the grana
- 10. molecule is made up of the base adenine, a ribose sugar, and three phosphate groups.
- 11. a negatively charged subatomic particle that exists in various energy levels outside the nucleus of an atom
- 12. flat membrane-enclosed structures inside chloroplasts that contain chlorophyll and other pigments; they are the site for the light dependent reactions of photosynthesis
Down
- 1. uses ATP and NADPH produced in the light reactions to incorporate the carbon from carbon dioxide into carbohydrates
- 2. s a metabolic process by which cells break chemical bonds of nutrients, such as glucose, to obtain ATP - a useable form of energy.
- 4. radiant energy that comes from the Sun
- 5. one of four major classes of organic compounds in living cells and an important source of nutritional energy; includes simple sugars, and more complex sugars such as starch sugars or many sugars; can also serve as a structural molecule
- 7. use energy from the Sun to combine six molecules of carbon dioxide and six molecules of water, using the pigment chlorophyll.
- 8. They are capable of synthesizing complex sugars from simple molecules such as carbon dioxide and water.
