Across
- 6. saclike photosynthetic membranes found in chloroplasts
- 7. compound used by cells to store and release energy
- 9. fluid portion of the chloroplast; outside of the thylakoids
- 10. 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
Down
- 1. process used by plants and other autotrophs to capture light and energy and use it to power chemical reactions that convert carbon dioxide and water into oxygen and energy-rich carbohydrates, such as sugars and starches
- 2. principal pigment of plants and other photosynthetic organisms
- 3. set of reactions in photosynthesis that use energy from light to produce ATP and NADPH
- 4. series of electron carrier proteins that shuttle high-energy electrons during ATP-generating reactions
- 5. carrier molecule that transfers high-energy electrons from chlorophyll to other molecules
- 8. light-absorbing molecule used by plants to gather the sun's energy
