  1. 3. The process of using water, carbon dioxide (CO2), and sunlight to produce glucose and oxygen.
  2. 4. Organisms that go through photosynthesis. examples: plants, some protists (like algae or euglena), and some bacteria.
  3. 5. Occurs in the stroma (just outside of the thylakoid)
  4. 7. One billionth of a meter (1/1,000,000,000), used to measure the wavelength of light.
  5. 11. This is more restrictive than the outer membrane, with transport limited to certain proteins (e.g., nuclear-encoded proteins) that are targeted for passage through transmembrane channels.
  6. 13. Occur inside the thylakoid.
  7. 17. Membranes inside where the "light-reactions" occur with the Electron Transport Chain.
  8. 18. A jelly-like fluid inside surrounding the thylakoids where "The Calvin Cycle" occurs (mostly in Dark)
  9. 19. The colors of light that the human eye can see.
  10. 20. Ferredoxin oxidoreductase is also called _____
Down
  1. 1. Known as the Dark reactions or The Calvin Cycle
  2. 2. Photons of light (that’s just a fancy way of saying small particles of light) are absorbed by a pigment called ____
  3. 4. Absorb sunlight, but do not produce energy directly. Ex. chlorophyll B, xanthophyll and carotene.
  4. 6. Plastoquinone Oxidoreductase is also called ______
  5. 8. Organelle where photosynthesis occurs.
  6. 9. Phospholipids is freely permeable to small molecules, also contains transmembrane channels for the import of larger molecules
  7. 10. Inside of the chloroplast sac is called the ______
  8. 12. Microscopic holes in the underside of leaves. Allows oxygen to escape, and carbon dioxide to enter. Surrounded by guard cells, which open and close the stomata.
  9. 14. Stack of thylakoids
  10. 15. Colors that absorb light. Produces energy from the sunlight it absorbs. EX. chlorophyll a
  11. 16. Usually refers to xanthophyll and carotene.
