Across
- 1. functional and structural units of protein complexes involved in photosynthesis.
- 3. Cal·vin cycle ˈkal-vən- : the cycle of enzyme-catalyzed dark reactions of photosynthesis that occurs in the chloroplasts of plants and in many bacteria and that involves the fixation of carbon dioxide and the formation of a 6-carbon sugar.
- 4. a cofactor used in anabolic reactions, such as the Calvin cycle and lipid and nucleic acid syntheses, which require NADPH as a reducing agent ('hydrogen source

- 6. pouch-like sacs that are bound to a membrane in the chloroplasts of a plant cell.
- 8. stores and releases
- 10. an enzyme that catalyzes the formation of the energy storage molecule adenosine triphosphate (ATP) using adenosine diphosphate (ADP) and inorganic phosphate (Pi)
- 12. a pigment present in all green plants and a few other organism

Down
- 2. a series of four protein complexes that couple redox reactions, creating an electrochemical gradient that leads to the creation of ATP in a complete system named oxidative phosphorylation.
- 7. happen in the thylakoid membrane of the chloroplasts and occur in the presence of sunlight.
- 9. chemical reactions that convert carbon dioxide and other compounds into glucose.
- 11. the fluid filling up the inner space of the chloroplasts which encircle the grana and the thylakoids
