  1. 3. The energy from sunlight absorbed by chlorophyll to power the reactions of photosynthesis.
  2. 4. Single-celled organisms, like cyanobacteria, that can perform photosynthesis without chloroplasts.
  3. 8. The green pigment in chloroplasts that absorbs light energy, primarily in the blue and red wavelengths, for photosynthesis.
  4. 9. Simple, photosynthetic organisms that can perform photosynthesis in aquatic environments.
  5. 12. A simple sugar molecule, such as glucose, produced during photosynthesis as an energy source for the plant.
  6. 13. The primary carbohydrate produced during photosynthesis, serving as an energy source for plants and other organisms.
  7. 15. hairs Tiny extensions of root epidermal cells that increase surface area for water and nutrient absorption from the soil.
  8. 16. The primary source of energy for photosynthesis, providing light energy to drive the process.
  9. 17. A byproduct of photosynthesis, released into the atmosphere during the splitting of water molecules.
  10. 18. Cycle The set of light-independent reactions in photosynthesis that convert carbon dioxide into glucose using energy from ATP and NADPH.
Down
  1. 1. Subatomic particles that are energized during the light-dependent reactions and play a key role in producing ATP and NADPH.
  2. 2. The organelle in plant cells where photosynthesis occurs, containing chlorophyll and other pigments.
  3. 5. Small openings on the surface of leaves that allow for gas exchange, including the intake of carbon dioxide and release of oxygen.
  4. 6. The membrane-bound structures inside the chloroplast where the light-dependent reactions of photosynthesis take place.
  5. 7. The process by which plants, algae, and some prokaryotes convert light energy into chemical energy stored in glucose.
  6. 10. Multicellular organisms that perform photosynthesis to produce food and oxygen.
  7. 11. energy The energy stored in the bonds of glucose molecules, produced during photosynthesis.
  8. 12. The organelle where the glucose produced during photosynthesis is broken down to generate energy in the form of ATP.
  9. 14. A specialized structure within a cell that performs a specific function, such as the chloroplast in photosynthesis.
  10. 15. The light wavelengths that are not absorbed by chlorophyll, which give plants their green color.
