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