Across
- 2. A particle of light that carries energy and are absorbed by chlorophyll during photosynthesis.
- 5. A stack of thylakoid membranes found within the chloroplasts of plant cells.
- 7. This compound serves as one of the raw materials for photosynthesis.
- 9. It is the fluid-like space inside the chloroplasts which surrounds the stacks of thylakoid membrane.
Down
- 1. The biochemical process by which green plants, algae, and some bacteria convert light energy into food--glucose.
- 3. These round-flattened, disc-like structures contain pigments, including chlorophyll, which capture and convert light energy into chemical energy
- 4. Its molecules are split in the series of biochemical reactions wherein its oxygen atom were released outside the leaf through the stomata.
- 5. Simple sugar; also called as the smallest unit of carbohydrates.
- 6. This theory suggests that plant cells originated from ancient eukaryotic cells that engulfed a cyanobacteria within them.
- 8. As the water molecules were split in the thylakoid membrane, this product is released into the atmosphere.
