Across
- 3. A green pigment, present in all green plants and in cyanobacteria, responsible for the absorption of light to provide energy for photosynthesis.
- 6. Uses light energy to make two molecules needed for the next stage of photosynthesis: the energy storage molecule ATP and the reduced electron carrier NADPH. In plants, the light reactions take place in the thylakoid membranes of organelles called chloroplasts.
- 7. The set of chemical reactions that take place in chloroplasts during photosynthesis.
Down
- 1. The process by which green plants and some other organisms use sunlight to synthesize foods from carbon dioxide and water.
- 2. A plastid that contains chlorophyll and in which photosynthesis takes place.
- 4. The separation of a mixture by passing it in solution or suspension or as a vapor (as in gas chromatography) through a medium in which the components move at different rates.
- 5. Is present in chloroplasts or photosynthetic bacteria and captures the light energy necessary for photosynthesis.
