Across
- 6. Any chemical that is used to make a certain color
- 8. One of two main ingredients for photosynthesis, greenhouse gas that is usually regulated by plants
- 9. Sac inside a chloroplast that contains chlorophyll, also the site of light dependent reactions
- 11. A green pigment that is used for capturing sunlight
- 14. Molecule that is the main source of energy for cells, works like a rechargeable battery
- 15. Independent ones of these take place in the stroma, while dependent ones happen in the thylakoids
Down
- 1. An organism that produces its own food, usually via photosynthesis
- 2. A simple sugar that is one of the main products of photosynthesis
- 3. An organism that does not produce its own food and must eat other organisms
- 4. Fluid surrounding the thylakoids in a chloroplast, site of light independent reactions
- 5. A reaction that produces more energy that it consumes (technically the reactants have less energy than the products, to not violate thermodynamics)
- 7. Process that uses carbon dioxide, sunlight, and water to produce glucose and oxygen gas
- 8. Cycle that uses no light and converts carbon dioxide into 3-carbon sugars
- 10. Gas that is a product of photosynthesis; humans need this to breathe, so luckily it takes up 21% of the atmosphere
- 12. Used in the Calvin Cycle to transport electrons to oxygen molecules
- 13. One of two main ingredients for photosynthesis, Earth's surface is 70% this
