Across
- 2. Reaction in which light energy breaks down a molecule.
- 3. Distance between crests of two successive waves of radiant energy.
- 4. Packets where electromagnetic energy of light is organized.
- 6. Makes sugars from carbon dioxide and water (sunlight energy)
- 8. The semifluid matrix between the thylakoid membrane and the two outer membranes of a chloroplast, site of light-independent photosynthesis reaction.
- 9. An organic molecule that absorbs light of certain wavelengths.
- 12. Any light-driven phosphorylation reaction.
- 13. They make their own food by using the environment.
- 15. A chloroplast's inner membrane system, often folded as flattened sacs that form a continuous compartment in the stroma.
Down
- 1. Cluster of pigments and proteins that, as a unit, converts light energy into photosynthesis.
- 4. The metabolic pathway by which photoautotrophs capture light energy, and use it to make sugars from carbon dioxide and water.
- 5. Organelle of photosynthesis in plants and some protist.
- 7. Adenosine triphosphate, nucleotide that consists of an adenine base, the five carbon sugar ribose, and three phosphate groups. Main energy carrier between reaction sites in cells.
- 10. Main photosynthetic pigments in plants, algae, and cyanobacteria.
- 11. Organic pigments that are found in the chloroplasts and chromoplasts of plants and some other photosynthetic organisms
- 14. Coenzymes that accept electons and hydrogen ions.
