Across
- 4. process of synthesis of ATP, relies on a concentration gradient of protons across the thylakoid membrane
- 6. a solution that surrounds the grana
- 9. compunds that absorb light
- 13. what the stacks of thylakoids are called, how the thylakoid is connected and layered
- 14. pathway that enables certain plants to fix CO2 into four carbon compounds
- 15. animals and other organisms that must get energy from food instead of directly from sunlight or inorganic substances.
- 16. the name of the acceptor of the electrons lost from chlorophyll a is a molecule in the thylakoid membrane
- 17. organelles found in the cells of plants and algae
Down
- 1. organisms that use energy from sunlight or from a chemical bonds in inorganic substances to make organic compounds
- 2. incorporation of CO2 into organic compounds, when carbon atoms from CO2 in the atmosphere are bonded, or "fixed", into organic compounds
- 3. what each cluster of pigment molecules and the proteins that the pigment molecules are embedded in are referred to
- 4. yellow, orange, and brown, found in thylakoid membrane, also function as accessory pigments
- 5. light energy (absorbed from the sun) is converted to chemical energy, which is temporarily stored in ATP and the energy carrier molecule NADPH
- 6. small pores located on the undersurface of the leaves on plants
- 7. organic compounds are formed using CO2 and the chemical energy stored in ATP and NADPH
- 8. to convert light energy from the sun into chemical energy in the form of organic compounds, primarily carbohydrates
- 10. located inside the inner membrane, a system of membranes arranged as flattened sacs
- 11. the molecules that the primary electron acceptor donates the electrons to, located in the thylakiod membrane
- 12. very important pigment located in the thylakoids, two types: chlorophyll a and chlorophyll b
- 17. stands for crassulacean acid metabolism, water conserving pathway, plants that use this pathway open their stomata at night and close them during the day
