Across
  1. 2. This produces excess energy that is sent to other places.
  2. 4. This transport type has no plasmodesmata to facilitate movement.
  3. 5. Only present in secondary cell wall and is very hard to degrade.
  4. 8. A C6 sugar monomer, e.g. galactose, glucose, galacturonic acid, or rhamnose.
  5. 9. Being the most abundant enzyme on Earth, this catalyzes the carboxylation of ribulose 1,5-biphosphate into 3-phosphoclycerate.
  6. 10. Transports sugars to sink organs of plants.
  7. 12. Protein complex made of 36 proteins embedded in the plasma membrane that synthesizes a component of the cell wall.
  8. 16. P680+ donates 2 electrons to this.
  9. 18. This occurs when there is a Ca2+ gradient consistently applied to one area of a cell.
  10. 20. Component of dietary fiber and component of cell wall.
  11. 21. These plants have a PEP carboxylase that eliminates photorespiration
  12. 22. Slightly branched form of energy storage.
  13. 23. A highly branched form of energy storage.
  14. 24. This occurs as RUBISCO is not 100% efficient.
  15. 26. This component of phloem is used for transport and has no nucleus.
  16. 28. The sum of the xylem and phloem within a plant body.
  17. 29. These help the cell wall to expand with the cell by loosening cellulose and pectin interactions.
Down
  1. 1. A chain of 2 or more sugar units.
  2. 3. An organic hydrophobic molecule that is localized in the thylakoid of plants.
  3. 6. This is where energy is needed, and thus, where sugars move to.
  4. 7. These cells are long and die at maturity but give a plant structural support.
  5. 11. The most useful carbohydrate in plants is made of one glucose and one fructose molecule.
  6. 12. This phenomenon relegates different metabolic process to different locations within the cell.
  7. 13. A single sugar unit.
  8. 14. Plants sequester carbon through this process.
  9. 15. Organic compounds with the empirical formula Cm(H20)n.
  10. 17. This transport type has many plasmodesmata that allow for quick loading of phloem.
  11. 19. The waterproof outer-covering of all land plants.
  12. 24. "Holes" in cell wall and plasma membrane that allow for quick transfer of small molecules.
  13. 25. This donates 2 electrons to P700.
  14. 27. A C5 sugar monomer, e.g. xylose or arabinose.
  15. 30. Transports water and nutrients from roots up.
