  1. 3. The addition of CO2 to RUBP to form an unstable 6 carbon intermediate in the Calvin cycle catalysed by RuBisCO.
  2. 5. The main photosynthetic pigment found in chloroplasts which is used to capture energy from photons during photosynthesis.
  3. 6. An organelle found in plants and algae which is the site of photosynthesis.
  4. 8. (GALP)The 3 carbon molecule produced by the reduction of GP by NADPH using the energy provided by the hydrolysis of ATP.
  5. 9. The addition of a phosphate group onto a molecule using the energy obtained from sunlight.
Down
  1. 1. The group of light-independent reactions involved in photosynthesis.
  2. 2. The breaking apart of a molecule using light.
  3. 4. The process of harnessing the energy from sunlight to split apart the bonds in water molecules and store the hydrogen in organic molecules by combining it with carbon dioxide.
  4. 7. (GP)The 3 carbon molecule produced by the spontaneous breakdown of the 6 carbon product of carbon fixation.
  5. 8. A stack of thylakoids.
