Across
- 3. principal pigment of plants and other photosynthetic organisms
- 6. cluster of chlorophyll and proteins found in the thylakoids
- 7. set of reactions in photosynthesis that require light
- 10. set of reactions in photosynthesis that do not require light
- 12. compound used by cells to store and release energy
- 14. fluid portion of the chloroplast found outside of the thylakoid membranes
Down
- 1. the food-making process of autotrophs that use sunlight to make sugar in a series of chemical reactions
- 2. light-independent cycle of photosynthesis in which energy from ATP and NADPH is used to build sugar (glucose)
- 4. light-absorbing molecule used by plants to absorb the sun's energy (chlorophyll a is an example)
- 5. carrier molecule that transfers high-energy electrons from chlorophyll to other molecules
- 8. the transport chain consisting of a series of carrier proteins that shuttle high-energy electrons during ATP-generating reactions
- 9. a sac-like, photosynthetic membrane found in chloroplasts
- 11. the enzyme used to synthesize (put together) ATP; consists of a cluster of proteins that span the cell membrane and allow hydrogen (H+) ions to pass
- 13. a stack of thylakoids that looks like a stack of green pancakes
