Across
- 2. Plant cells have 2 that absorb light energy through pigments
- 5. The scientist who got nobel prize for explaining reductive pentose phosphate cycle
- 7. Do not require light to work
- 11. Chemical formula of molecule that donates electrons during the first phase of photosynthesis (hint: is "split")
- 12. Light reactions take place here
- 13. Short for the "energy currency of the cell"
- 15. Cacti use this pathway to survive hot, dry environments
- 17. Orange pigment molecules
- 18. The source of oxygen produced during photosynthesis
- 19. Where an alternate enzyme is used to fix carbon
- 20. Pores in the leaves that control gas exchange
- 21. The ultimate energy source (directly or indirectly)
Down
- 1. Organelle where photosynthesis takes place
- 3. Each photosystem is adjacent to one of these that are embedded in the thylakoid membrane
- 4. Unit of wavelength
- 6. VERY IMPORTANT by-product of the first phase of photosynthesis
- 7. The purpose of the this phase is to collect solar energy
- 8. The use of oxygen by plants instead of CO2 where carbon is not "fixed"
- 9. Short for Nicotinamide Adenine Dinucleotide Phosphate in its reducing form
- 10. Inside of the chloroplast (semi-liquid portion)
- 14. Famous enzyme that helps to fix CO2 (catalyzes carboxylation of ribulose bisphosphate)
- 16. 3-carbon molecule involved in carbon fixation (not a golf tourney)
