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