Across
  1. 2. Converts sunlight, water, and carbon dioxide into glucose and oxygen
  2. 7. Transports glucose
  3. 8. Discs where light-dependent reactions occur
  4. 10. Green pigment in thylakoids that absorbs sunlight for photosynthesis
  5. 11. A factor that can affect the rate of photosynthesis
  6. 13. A stack of thylakoids inside the chloroplast
  7. 14. The energy source that powers the light-dependent reactions
  8. 17. Byproduct of splitting water in the light-dependent reactions
  9. 18. Fluid in the chloroplast where the Calvin cycle occurs
  10. 20. The first stage of photosynthesis that captures sunlight to produce ATP and NADPH
  11. 21. First step of the Calvin cycle, where carbon dioxide binds to ribose which converts CO2 to carbon
  12. 22. Gas used during the Calvin cycle to produce sugars
  13. 23. Cycle where carbon dioxide is combined with hydrogen to create glucose
Down
  1. 1. Plant organ that absorbs water for photosynthesis
  2. 3. An opening that allows for gas to exchange that is controlled with guard cells
  3. 4. Pigments like anthocyanins and xanthophylls that absorbs extra wavelengths of light
  4. 5. Organelle containing thylakoids and stroma, the site of photosynthesis
  5. 6. Energy molecule produced in light-dependent reactions
  6. 9. Transports water
  7. 12. Result of chlorophyll breakdown, revealing carotenoids and other pigments
  8. 15. The high-energy molecule that carries electrons and hydrogens to the Calvin cycle
  9. 16. Molecule that collects hydrogens and becomes NADPH
  10. 19. Orange pigment that absorbs extra light wavelengths
