Across
- 4. Set of reactions in photosynthesis that use energy from light to produce ATP and NADPH.
- 5. Carrier molecule that transfers high-energy electrons from chlorophyll to other molecules
- 9. Process used by plants and other autotrophs to capture light energy and use it to power chemical reactions that convert carbon dioxide and water into oxygen and energy-rich carbohydrates sugars s sugars and starches.
- 11. Light-independent reactions of photosynthesis in which energy from ATP and NADPH is used to build high-energy compounds such as sugar.
- 13. Series of electron carrier proteins that shuttle high-energy electrons during ATP-generating reactions.
- 14. Saclike photosynthesis membranes found in chloroplasts
Down
- 1. Organism that obtains food by consuming other living things; also called a consumer
- 2. Set of reactions in photosynthesis that do not require light energy from ATP and NADPH is used to build high-energy compounds such as sugar also called the Calvin cycle.
- 3. Organism that is able to capture energy from sunlight or chemicals and use it to produce its own food from inorganic compounds.
- 6. Cluster of proteins that span the cell membrane and allow hydrogen ions (H+) to pass through it.
- 7. Principal pigment of plants and other photosynthetic organisms.
- 8. Light-absorbing molecule used by plants to gather the sun's energy.
- 10. Small opening in the epidermis of a plant that allows carbon dioxide, water, and oxygen to diffuse into and out of the leaf
- 12. An important compound that cells use to store and release energy.
