Across
- 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.
Down
- 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
