Across
  1. 4. a stack of thylakoid discs inside the chloroplast
  2. 5. (in green plant cells) a plastid that contains chlorophyll and in which photosynthesis takes place
  3. 7. three-carbon compound that is produced during glycolysis and needed for both aerobic and anaerobic pathways of cellular respiration that follow glycolysis
  4. 8. a biochemical mechanism in plants by which chlorophyll absorbs light energy for photosynthesis
  5. 9. the acceptor of the electrons lost from chlorophll a is a molecule in the thylakoid membrane called the _______
  6. 12. solution surrounding the grana
  7. 13. in plants, the solution that surrounds the thylakoids in a chloroplast
  8. 15. the set of metabolic reactions and processes that take place in the cells of organisms to convert biochemical energy from nutrients into ATP
  9. 17. the reaction that occurs as the first phase of photosynthesis, in which energy in the form of light is absorbed and converted to chemical energy in the form of ATP
  10. 19. an organism that is able to form nutritional organic substances from simple inorganic substances such as carbon dioxide
  11. 20. a green pigment that is present in most plant cells, that give plants their characteristic green color
Down
  1. 1. chemical compounds which reflect only certain wavelengths of visible light
  2. 2. relating to, involving, or requiring an absence of free oxygen
  3. 3. is a process in which the NADH and [FADH2] produced during glycolysis, β-oxidation, and other catabolic processes are oxidized thus releasing energy in the form of ATP'
  4. 6. relating to, involving, or requiring free oxygen
  5. 10. the movement of ions across a selectively permeable membrane, down their electrochemical gradient
  6. 11. the process by which green plants and some other organisms use sunlight to synthesize foods from carbon dioxide and water
  7. 14. an organism deriving its nutritional requirements from complex organic substances
  8. 16. organic pigments that are found in the chloroplasts and chromoplasts of plants and some other photosynthetic organisms
  9. 18. each of a number of flattened sacs inside a chloroplast, bounded by pigmented membranes on which the light reactions of photosynthesis take place, and arranged in stacks or grana
