Across
- 5. principal pigment of plants and other photosynthetic organisms; absorbs light energy for photosynthesis
- 7. series of reactions ina membrane that transfers electrons and other compounds with the buildup of protons (H*ions) creates ATP
- 9. refers to the fluid area surrounding the grana within the chloroplasts (site of LIR)
Down
- 1. photosynthetic membranes founds in chloroplasts that contains the components for photosynthesis
- 2. the chemical reactions that convert carbon dioxide and other compounds into glucose. (Aka light independent reactions)
- 3. process by which plants and come other organisms use light energy to convert water and carbon dioxide into oxygen and high energy carbohydrates such as sugars and starches
- 4. process in which light energy is absorbed and converted into ATP and NADPH
- 6. process of synthesizing ATP from organic chemicals instead of light
- 8. (adenosine triphosphate) high energy molecule necessary for cellular processes
