Across
- 1. a green pigment, present in all green plants and in cyanobacteria, responsible for the absorption of light to provide energy for photosynthesis
- 2. an enzyme present in plant chloroplasts, involved in fixing atmospheric carbon dioxide during photosynthesis and in oxygenation of the resulting compound during photorespiration.
- 8. a series of compounds that transfer electrons from electron donors to electron acceptors
- 10. a simple sugar that is an important energy source in living organisms and is a component of many carbohydrates.
- 11. the set of chemical reactions that take place in chloroplasts during photosynthesis
Down
- 1. The gas required to photosynthesize
- 3. contains chlorophyll and in which photosynthesis takes place.
- 4. the process by which plants and some other organisms use sunlight to synthesize foods from carbon dioxide and water
- 5. energy captured from light by chlorophyll and its accessory pigments drives the production of ATP
- 6. Liquid used to photosynthesize
- 7. any of the minute pores in the epidermis of the leaf or stem of a plant, forming a slit of variable width that allows movement of gases in and out of the inter-cellular spaces.
- 9. The gas photosynthesis produces.
- 12. transports chemical energy within cells for metabolism
