Cellular Energetics

2. cause or accelerate (a reaction) by acting as a catalyst
6. A substance produced during a natural, chemical, or manufacturing process
8. the cycle of chemical reactions performed by plants to “fix” carbon from CO2 into three-carbon sugars.
10. A substance produced by a living organism which acts as a catalyst to bring about a specific biochemical reaction.
12. Bind reversibly or irreversibly to the active site of the Enzyme.
14. a biochemical mechanism in plants by which chlorophyll absorbs light energy for photosynthesis.
15. Where the Calvin Cycle occurs.
17. catalyzes the synthesis of ATP from ADP and phosphate.

1. a cluster of proteins that transfer electrons through a membrane within mitochondria to form a gradient of protons that drives the creation of adenosine triphosphate (ATP).
3. a green pigment, present in all green plants and in cyanobacteria, responsible for the absorption of light to provide energy for photosynthesis.
4. The minimum quantity of energy which the reacting species must possess in order to undergo an specified reaction
5. An underlying substance or layer/the substance on which an enzyme acts
7. Where the light dependent reaction occurs.
8. A substance that increases the rate of a chemical reaction without itself undergoing any permanent chemical change
9. A weak bond between two molecules resulting from an electrostatic attraction between a proton in one molecule and an electronegative atom in the other
11. Destroy the characteristic properties of (a protein or other biological macromolecule) by heat, acidity, or other effects that disrupt its molecular conformation.
13. a measure of how acidic/basic water is
14. the process by which green plants and some other organisms use sunlight to synthesize foods from carbon dioxide and water, Generally involves the green pigment chlorophyll and generates oxygen as a byproduct.
16. Energy
