Across
- 3. All types of electromagnetic radiation.
- 6. A plastid that contains chlorophyll and in which photosynthesis takes place.
- 8. Any of the minute pores in the epidermis of the leaf or stem of a plant, forming a slit of variable width which allows movement of gases in and out of the intercellular spaces.
- 9. A multisubunit complex found mainly in the thylakoid membranes of plants and algae, and in the cytoplasmic membranes of photosynthetic bacteria.
- 10. The length of a single cycle of a wave, usually measured from crest-to-crest.
- 11. Also known simply as pigments or biochromes are substances produced by living organisms that have a color resulting from selective color absorption.
- 13. A light-independent reactions, biosynthetic phase, dark reactions, or photosynthetic carbon reduction cycle of photosynthesis are the chemical reactions that convert carbon dioxide and other compounds into glucose.
Down
- 1. An ecosystem service that warms the Earth to temperatures that support life.
- 2. The supportive tissue of an epithelial organ, tumor, gonad, etc., consisting of connective tissues and blood vessels.
- 4. This is influenced by living things, atmospheric changes, ocean chemistry, and geologic activity are all part of this cycle. The levels of carbon are at an all-time high, largely due to human activities.
- 5. The plural of granum, are stacks of structures called Thylakoids which are little discs of membrane on which the light-dependent reactions of photosynthesis take place.
- 6. Any of several related green pigments found in the mesosomes of cyanobacteria and in the chloroplasts of algae and plants.
- 7. The light-dependent reactions use light energy to make two molecules needed for the next stage of photosynthesis.
- 12. They are membrane-bound compartments inside chloroplasts and cyanobacteria.
