Across
- 1. Membrane-bound structures within chloroplasts that contain chlorophyll and are the site of the light-dependent reactions in photosynthesis.
- 5. The series of reactions in photosynthesis that take place in the stroma of chloroplasts and do not require light; these reactions convert carbon dioxide and other compounds into glucose.
- 7. A stack of thylakoids within the chloroplast of plant cells, where light-dependent reactions of photosynthesis take place.
- 10. The green pigment in plants and algae that absorbs light energy used to carry out photosynthesis.
- 12. An organelle found in plant and algae cells where photosynthesis occurs, containing chlorophyll and other pigments.
- 13. A protein that acts as a catalyst to speed up chemical reactions in the body without being consumed in the process.
- 15. A type of chemical reaction that requires the input of energy to proceed, typically absorbing energy from its surroundings.
Down
- 2. Referring to something that occurs or is located within a cell.
- 3. Energy The minimum amount of energy required to start a chemical reaction.
- 4. The fluid-filled space surrounding the thylakoids in chloroplasts, where the Calvin cycle of photosynthesis takes place.
- 6. Referring to something that occurs or is located outside of a cell.
- 8. An energy carrier molecule produced in the light-dependent reactions of photosynthesis and used in the Calvin cycle to help convert carbon dioxide into glucose.
- 9. The process by which plants, algae, and some bacteria convert light energy, water, and carbon dioxide into glucose and oxygen.
- 11. The primary energy carrier in cells, used to power various cellular processes.
- 14. A type of chemical reaction that releases energy, usually in the form of heat.
