Across
- 1. Principal pigment of plants and other photosynthetic organism
- 6. Reactions that are a set of reactions in photosynthesis that use energy from light to produce ATP and NADPH
- 7. Filled portion of the chloroplast; outside of the thylakoid
- 11. A series of electron carrier proteins that shuttle high energy electrons during ATP generating reactions
- 12. A set of reactions in photosynthesis that do not require light energy from ATP an NADPH is used to build high energy compounds such as sugar; also called the Calvin Cycle
Down
- 2. Process used by plants and other autotrophs to capture light energy and use it to power chemical reactions that convert carbon dioxide and water into oxygen and energy rich carbohydrates such as sugars and starches.
- 3. Light absorbing molecule used by plants to gather the sun's energy
- 4. Light dependent reactions of photosynthesis in which energy from ATP and NADPH is used to build high energy compounds such as sugar
- 5. Cluster of chlorophyll and proteins found in the Thylakoid
- 8. An enzyme for the synthesis of ATP; consists of a cluster of proteins that span the cell membrane and allow hydrogen ions to pass
- 9. Compound used by cells to store and release energy
- 10. Carrier molecule that transfers high energy electrons from chlorophyll to other molecules
- 13. Sac like photosynthetic membrane found in chloroplasts
