Chapter 7: Photosynthesis

5. Organelle of photosynthesis in plants and some protist.
6. Packets where electromagnetic energy of light is organized.
7. An organic molecule that absorbs light of certain wavelengths.
9. Any light-driven phosphorylation reaction.
11. Cluster of pigments and proteins that, as a unit, converts light energy into photosynthesis.
12. Distance between crests of two successive waves of radiant energy.
14. 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.

1. The semifluid matrix between the thylakoid membrane and the two outer membranes of a chloroplast, site of light-independent photosynthesis reaction.
2. A chloroplast's inner membrane system, often folded as flattened sacs that form a continuous compartment in the stroma.
3. Reaction in which light energy breaks down a molecule.
4. Makes sugars from carbon dioxide and water (sunlight energy)
8. Main photosynthetic pigments in plants, algae, and cyanobacteria.
9. The metabolic pathway by which photoautotrophs capture light energy, and use it to make sugars from carbon dioxide and water.
10. They make their own food by using the environment.
13. Coenzymes that accept electons and hydrogen ions.
