Across
  1. 1. makes the capture of light energy possible
  2. 4. State: the state of a physical system (as of an atomic nucleus or an atom) having the least energy of all the possible states
  3. 5. Small pores, usually on the undersides of leaves, that are the primary sites for gas exchange in plants
  4. 8. one that absorbs light with a wavelength of about 700 nanometers
  5. 10. C sugar produced from photosynthesis.
  6. 12. complex: light-harvesting systems (LHC) which are protein-pigment complexes in or on photosynthetic membranes.
  7. 15. allosteric effector of hemoglobin that regulates the affinity of hemoglobin for oxygen and facilitates the release of oxygen to the tissues
  8. 16. inner area of a chloroplast where the light-independent reactions occur. The stroma is the water-based, fluid-filled area of the chloroplast.
  9. 18. in cells that has high energy bonds which can be broken rather easily to provide energy for cellular work.
  10. 19. reductase
  11. 22. diphospate located on ATP use and used to make ATP
  12. 23. ATpase acts as an enzyme and uses the energy from H+ diffusion to change its shape and bring ADP closer to P to make ATP with energy from first photon in it.
  13. 25. 3 Phosphate: oxidized by NAD +
  14. 26. the chemical decomposition of materials under the influence of light.
  15. 27. one of the structural units of a chloroplast in vascular plants, consisting of layers of thylakoids.
  16. 28. :An organelle where photosynthesis occurs.
  17. 31. the cornerstone of atmospheric CO 2 fixation by the biosphere.
  18. 32. of, relating to, or produced by electromagnetism
  19. 33. Bisphosphate
  20. 34. pathway: is a pathway used by the plants that are found in deserts or arid conditions for the fixation of carbon without losing water.
  21. 35. substance produced by a living organism which acts as a catalyst to bring about a specific biochemical reaction.
Down
  1. 2. production of an excited state of a quantum system by photon absorption
  2. 3. Reactions: photolysis reactions
  3. 6. Reactions: Depending on the chemical reaction, oxidation and reduction may involve any of the following for a given atom, ion, or molecule:
  4. 7. membrane inside the chloroplast containing photosystems; e-transport chain; and ATPase
  5. 9. Dioxide :gas molecule from atmosphere that combines with H+'s plus e-'s in water to make glucose
  6. 11. Fixation: process that involves fixing a carbon into place
  7. 13. branch of chemistry that deals with the relations between electrical and chemical phenomena.
  8. 14. Center: A specific chlorophyll molecule that holds light energy.
  9. 17. refers to the cyclical process where the photosynthetic enzyme Rubisco fixes carbon dioxide into the sugars that fuel plant growth and productivity.
  10. 20. synthase: an enzyme that directly generates adenosine ATP during the process of cellular respiration.
  11. 21. a salt or ester of phosphoglyceric acid
  12. 24. destination of e- at the end of the "photo" reaction
  13. 29. a chemical reaction between two compounds after osmosis through an intervening semipermeable membrane
  14. 30. the thin, limiting covering of a cell or cell part.
