Across
- 1. compound used by cells to store and release energy
- 5. fluid portion of the chloroplast, outside of the thylakoids
- 7. synthase an enzyme for the synthesis of ATP; consists of a cluster of proteins that spans the cell membrane and allow hydrogen ions (H+) to pass
- 8. cluster of chlorophyll and proteins found in the thylakoids
- 12. set of reactions in photosynthesis that use energy from light to produce ATP and NADPH
- 14. 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 such as sugars and starches
- 15. . principal pigment of plants and other photosynthetic organisms
Down
- 2. saclike photosynthetic membranes found in chloroplasts
- 3. organism that obtains food by consuming other living things, also called consumers
- 4. organelle found in cells of plants and some other organisms that captures energy from sunlight and converts it into chemical energy
- 6. light-independent reactions of photosynthesis in which energy from ATP and NADPH is used to build high energy compounds such as sugar
- 9. light-absorbing molecules used by plants to gather the sun’s energy
- 10. organism that is able to capture energy from sunlight or chemicals and use it to produce its own food from inorganic compounds, also called a producer
- 11. series of electron carrier proteins that shuttle high-energy electrons during ATP-generating reactions
- 13. carrier molecule that transfers high energy electrons from chlorophyll to other molecules
