  3. 5. Type of electron transport in photosystem I that functions without photosystem II, producing no oxygen or NADPH
  4. 6. The attraction of water to solid phase
  5. 11. This accessory pigment is more stable to oxidation and helps absorb light for photosynthesis
  6. 13. This enzyme is responsible for fixing almost all organic carbon into an organic form
  7. 14. Cells involved in loading solutes into the xylem for transport in plants
  8. 15. A type of carrier protein that requires ATP hydrolysis and phosphorylation to change its shape
  9. 16. Structure in plant cells that facilitates the movement of molecules between cells
  10. 20. The outer protective layer of a plant
  11. 21. The movement of one molecule independent of the other molecules through a protein channel
  12. 24. A polymer of tubulin
  13. 25. This nutrient is transported in the xylem but cannot be remobilized through the phloem
  14. 26. The main product formed in the stroma during the light-independent reactions of photosynthesis
  15. 27. Bacterium found in soil that helps in fixing nitrogen in leguminous plants
  16. 28. The membrane within the chloroplast where light-dependent reactions occur
Down
  1. 1. Type of chromatin that dispersed and transcriptionally active
  2. 4. A red photosynthetic pigment found in plants, also responsible for the color of tomatoes
  3. 7. Enzymes that release CO2 from malate in bundle sheath cells during C4 photosynthesis
  4. 8. In CAM plants, CO2 fixed at night is stored in this cellular structure as organic acids
  5. 9. Crop yield can be improved by the addition of
  6. 10. The process where carbon fixation occurs in C4 plants, before being transported to bundle sheath cells
  7. 12. The location where the light-independent (carbon) reaction occurs in plant cells
  8. 15. Type of active transport that directly use of metabolic energy to mediate transport
  9. 17. Channel proteins that form pores in the membrane of cells
  10. 18. External solution that has a high solute concentration and low water concentration compared to body fluids
  11. 19. A deficiency of this element, essential for chlorophyll production, causes interveinal chlorosis
  12. 22. Water movement through the cytoplasm of cells, passing through plasmodesmata
  13. 23. The movement of 2 molecules in the opposite direction through a protein channel
  14. 24. A symbiotic relationship that aids in nutrient absorption by roots
