Across
- 1. organism that creates its own food through photosynthesis or chemosynthesis.
- 4. produce their own food and must eat other organisms to live.
- 5. organisms, NADPH is produced by ferredoxin-NADP+ reductase in the last step of the electron chain of the light reactions of photosynthesis.
- 7. Reactions/ a set of reactions in photosynthesis that do not require light; energy from ATP and NADPH is used to build high-energy compounds such as sugar.
- 10. a stack of thylakoids.
- 12. complete round or series of occurrences that repeats or is repeated.
- 15. Cycle/ light-independent reactions of photosynthesis in which energy from ATP and NADPH is used to build high-energy compounds such as sugar.
- 16. a process used by plants and other organisms to convert the light energy captured from the sun into chemical energy that can be used to fuel the organism's activities.
Down
- 1. triphosphate.
- 2. fluid in between grana.
- 3. found in plant cells and other eukaryotic organisms that conduct photosynthesis and other chemical reactions.
- 6. Reactions/ a set of reactions in photosynthesis that uses energy from light to produce ATP and NADPH.
- 8. the site of the light-dependent reactions of photosynthesis.
- 9. cluster of chlorophyll and proteins found in thylakoids.
- 11. diphosphate.
- 13. Synthase/ a cluster of proteins that span the cell membrane and allow hydrogen ions to pass through it.
- 14. green pigment that absorbs light most strongly in the blue portion of the electromagnetic spectrum, followed by the red portion.
- 17. Transport Chain/ a series of electron carrier proteins that shuttle high-energy electrons during ATP-generating reactions.
