Across
- 2. _________ Dependent reactions of photosynthesis that use energy from light to produce ATP and NADPH
- 6. organism that obtains energy from the foods it consumes; also called a consumer.
- 8. principal pigment of plants and other photosynthetic organisms; captures light energy
- 9. light-absorbing molecules in plants. Typically green.
- 11. organism that can capture energy from sunlight or chemicals and use it to produce its own food from inorganic compounds; also called a producer
- 12. This energy packed molecule releases energy upon the removal of a phosphate group
Down
- 1. organelle found in cells of plants and some other organisms that captures the energy from sunlight and converts it into chemical energy
- 3. sac like photosynthetic membrane found in chloroplasts
- 4. __________ cycle; reactions of photosynthesis in which energy from ATP and NADPH is used to build high-energy compounds such as sugars
- 5. region outside the thylakoid membranes in chloroplasts. The "cytoplasm" of a chloroplast
- 7. light-collecting units of the chloroplast
- 10. process by which plants and some other organisms use light energy to convert water and carbon dioxide into oxygen and high-energy carbohydrates such as sugars and starches
