Photosyntheis

1. The Calvin cycle is a process that plants and algae use to turn carbon dioxide from the air into sugar, the food autotrophs need to grow.
4. These reactions are also called the light-independent reactions because they are not directly driven by light.
6. An organism that is able to form nutritional organic substances from simple inorganic substances such as carbon dioxide.
7. A green pigment, present in all green plants and in cyanobacteria, responsible for the absorption of light to provide energy for photosynthesis.
8. an energy-carrying molecule found in the cells of all living things.
10. The light-dependent reactions use light energy to make two molecules needed for the next stage of photosynthesis.
13. A coenzyme that functions as a universal electron carrier, accepting electrons and hydrogen atoms to form NADPH, or nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate.
14. ATP synthase is an enzyme that catalyzes the formation of the energy storage molecule adenosine triphosphate (ATP) using adenosine diphosphate (ADP) and inorganic phosphate (Pi).
15. A biochemical mechanism in plants by which chlorophyll absorbs light energy for photosynthesis.

2. a series of electron transporters embedded in the inner mitochondrial membrane that shuttles electrons from NADH and FADH2 to molecular oxygen
3. The supportive tissue of an epithelial organ, tumor, gonad, etc., consisting of connective tissues and blood vessels.
5. An organism deriving its nutritional requirements from complex organic substances.
9. The process by which green plants and some other organisms use sunlight to synthesize foods from carbon dioxide and water.
11. Flattened sacs inside a chloroplast, bounded by pigmented membranes on which the light reactions of photosynthesis take place
12. The natural coloring matter of animal or plant tissue.
