  1. 6. A fluid-filled region within the chloroplast
  2. 7. Green pigments within the chloroplasts
  3. 9. light particles
  4. 11. site of photosynthesis
  5. 12. Many plants with tropical origins have the ability to fix carbon dioxide into four-carbon compounds, sometimes referred
  6. 14. nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate
  7. 16. thylakoid sacs are arranged in stacks, similar in appearance to a stack of coins, called
  8. 17. are yellow and orange accessory pigments that absorb energy from green-yellow-orange wavelengths. They are less efficient than chlorophyll.
  9. 18. Plants adapted to dry climates are called
  10. 19. inside the chloroplast is a system of membranes that form an interconnected set of flat, disk-like sacs called
  11. 20. process of converting solar energy into a stored chemical energy
  12. 21. does not require light and is sometimes referred to as the dark reaction. In this reaction, ATP and NADPH, formed during the light-dependent reaction, are used to make high-energy carbohydrates
  13. 22. C4 plants have specialized cells, which are packed tightly around the veins of a leaf
  14. 23. an example of a complex carbohydrate that is the main structural component of walls that surround plant cells
Down
  1. 1. is yellow-green and absorbs wavelengths of light slightly different from chlorophyll a.
  2. 2. takes place in the stroma within mesophyll cells. Initially, a six-carbon molecule is formed. Instantly, it splits into two three-carbon molecules. The three-carbon molecules join to form simple sugars, glucose and fructose.
  3. 3. Some of the electrical energy is used to make ATP through a process known as
  4. 4. the process by which carbon dioxide is converted to organic molecules
  5. 5. Some plants, typically growing in arid conditions, fix carbon through a pathway known as ________, Pineapples and cacti are examples
  6. 8. bright green and is responsible for absorbing energy from the violet-blue to red, red-orange light wavelengths, initiates the light-dependent reactions in the photosynthetic process
  7. 10. adenosine triphosphate
  8. 13. Most plants are referred to as ____________ because the first product of carbon fixation is a three-carbon compound.
  9. 15. occurs in the presence of light, chylorophyll absorbs light energy and converts it to electrical energy
