Across
- 1. Plants use some of the glucose they’ve made and store the rest. The oxygen is released into the air.
- 5. the organelles responsible for photosynthesis
- 8. dioxide the series of processes by which carbon compounds are interconverted in the environment, involving the incorporation of carbon dioxide into living tissue by photosynthesis and its return to the atmosphere through respiration, the decay of dead organisms, and the burning of fossil fuels.
- 9. Oxygen (O2) is evolved during photosynthetic electron transport when water is split by the oxygen-evolving complex to provide protons and electrons to the chloroplastic electron chain.
- 10. Photosynthesis is the process in which light energy is converted to chemical energy in the form of sugars.
- 11. Plants use the energy of the sun to change water and carbon dioxide into a sugar called glucose
Down
- 2. is found in virtually all photosynthetic organisms, including green plants, cyanobacteria, and algae
- 3. is the process in which green plants, algae, and a group of bacteria called cyanobacteria use sunlight to make their own food.
- 4. within the plant cell, the water is oxidized, meaning it loses electrons, while the carbon dioxide is reduced, meaning it gains electrons.
- 6. Organelle in plants where photosynthesis occurs.
- 7. photosynthesis, plants trap light energy with their leaves. Plants use the energy of the sun to change water and carbon dioxide into a sugar called glucose.
