Across
  1. 1. Principal pigment of plants and other photosynthetic organisms
  2. 6. Proteins embedded in the Thylakoid membrane that contain chlorophyll
  3. 7. Set of reactions in photosynthesis that don't require light; energy from ATP and NADPH is used to build high-energy compounds such a as sugar
  4. 12. Series of electron carrier proteins that shuttle high-energy electrons during ATP generating reactions
  5. 13. Saclike photosynthetic membranes found in chloroplasts
Down
  1. 2. Process used by plants and other autotrophs to capture light energy and use it to power chemical reactions
  2. 3. The light-independent reactions of photosynthesis in which energy from ATP and NADPH is used to build high energy compounds such a as sugar
  3. 4. Set of reactions in photosynthesis that used energy from light to produce ATP and NADPH
  4. 5. Light absorbing molecules used by plants to gather the sun's energy
  5. 8. Carrier molecule that transfers high-energy electrons from chlorophyll to other molecules
  6. 9. Fluid portion of the chloroplast; outside of the thylakoids
  7. 10. The protein embedded in the thylakoid that has the right shape for hydrogen (H+)
  8. 11. Compound used by cells to store and release energy
