  1. 1. a specialized organelle found within plant cells that is responsible for carrying out photosynthesis
  2. 5. cycle: A series of chemical reactions that occurs as part of the dark reactions of photosynthesis
  3. 11. an organism that can form nutritional organic substances from simple inorganic substances such as carbon dioxide.
  4. 13. represents an important electron donor that is used in a variety of biological settings.
  5. 15. a colored substance found within plant or animal cells that gives them their color by selectively absorbing certain wavelengths of light
  6. 16. 2: a protein complex embedded in the thylakoid membrane of chloroplasts, which uses light energy to split water molecules
  7. 17. dioxide: a colorless, odorless gas with the chemical formula CO2, composed of one carbon atom and two oxygen atoms
  8. 18. an organism that eats other plants or animals for energy and nutrients.
  9. 20. 1: a large protein complex embedded within the thylakoid membranes of photosynthetic organisms
  10. 22. a nitrogenous base, classified as a purine, that serves as one of the building blocks of DNA
  11. 23. a colorless, odorless gas that creates oxygen
  12. 24. a sugar that has five carbon atoms and five oxygen atoms in each molecule and is part of RNA
  13. 27. provides the energy for photosynthesis, by which plants form organic molecules
Down
  1. 2. the biological process where plants and certain other organisms use sunlight energy to convert carbon dioxide and water into glucose and oxygen
  2. 3. an organism that cannot produce its own food and must eat other organisms
  3. 4. a simple sugar that's the primary source of energy for living organisms
  4. 6. is a molecule that transfers and provides cells with energy.
  5. 7. stage: converts light energy into chemical energy.
  6. 8. a molecule considered the primary energy currency of cells
  7. 9. a flattened membrane-bound sac located inside chloroplasts of plant cells
  8. 10. a pigment present in all green plants and a few other organisms.
  9. 12. the measurement of how hot or cold an organism or environment is
  10. 14. an organism that can create its own food
  11. 16. a chemical group containing a phosphorus atom bonded to four oxygen atoms
  12. 19. a stack of coin-shaped thylakoids in the chloroplasts of plant cells.
  13. 21. refers to the chemical compound H2O
  14. 25. The cells and tissues that support and give structure to organs, glands, or other tissues in the body.
  15. 26. independent stage: the second phase of photosynthesis, also known as the Calvin cycle, where carbon dioxide is fixed into organic molecules using the energy stored in ATP and NADPH
