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