Across
  1. 3. an organism that obtains organic food molecules by eating other organisms or their byproducts and that cannot synthesize organic compounds from inorganic material
  2. 5. a biochemical pathway of photosynthesis in which carbon dioxide is converted into glucose using ATP
  3. 7. the process by which plants, algae, and some bacteria use sunlight, carbon dioxide, and water to produce carbohydrates and oxygen
  4. 10. a substance that gives another substance or a mixture its color
  5. 11. a stack of thylakoids in a chloroplast
  6. 13. a membrane system found within chloroplast that contains the components for photosynthesis
  7. 14. a class of pigments present mostly in plants and that aid in photosynthesis
  8. 15. the initial reactions in photosynthesis, which are triggered by the absorption of lightby photosystem I and II and the synthesize of ATP through chemiosmosis
  9. 17. in chloroplasts and mitochondria, a process in which the movement of protons down their concentration gradient across a membrane is coupled to the synthesis of ATP
  10. 18. a series of molecules, found in the inner membranes of mitochondria and chloroplasts, through which electrons pass in a process that causes protons to build up on one side of the membrane
  11. 19. a carbon-fixing process in which carbon dioxide is bound to a compound to form a four carbon intermediate
Down
  1. 1. in plants the solution that surrounds the thylakoids in a chloroplast
  2. 2. a class of pigments present mostly in plants and that aid in photosynthesis
  3. 4. a green pigment that is present in most plant and algae cells and some bacteria,that gives plants their characteristic green color, and that absorbs light to provide energy for photosynthesis
  4. 6. an organism that produces its own nutrients from inorganic substances or from the environment instead of consuming other organisms
  5. 7. in chloroplasts, an accepted of electrons lost from chlorophyll;found in the thylakoid membrane
  6. 8. one of many openings in a leaf or a stem of a plant that enable gas exchange to occur
  7. 9. the synthesis of organic compound from carbon dioxide, such as in photosynthesis
  8. 12. an organelle found in plant and algae cells where photosynthesis occurs
  9. 16. a water-conserving,carbon-fixing process;CAM plants take in carbon at night and fix it into various organic compunds and release it during the day
