Across
  1. 2. 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
  2. 3. a phosphorylated nucleotide C10H16N5O13P3 composed of adenosine and three phosphate groups that supplies energy for many biochemical cellular processes by undergoing enzymatic hydrolysis especially to AD
  3. 5. the colorless proteinaceous matrix of a chloroplast in which the chlorophyll-containing lamellae are embedded
  4. 8. an enzyme that catalyzes the synthesis of ATP from ADP and inorganic phosphate
  5. 10. one that absorbs light with a wavelength of about 700 nanometers
  6. 11. the sequential transfer of electrons especially by cytochromes in cellular respiration from an oxidizable substrate to molecular oxygen by a series of oxidation-reduction reactions
Down
  1. 1. any of the membranous disks of lamellae within plant chloroplasts that are composed of protein and lipid and are the sites of the photochemical reactions of photosynthesis
  2. 2. the green photosynthetic pigment found chiefly in the chloroplasts of plants and occurring especially as a blue-black ester C55H72MgN4O5 or a dark green ester C55H70MgN4O6
  3. 4. coloring matter in animals and plants especially in a cell or tissue
  4. 6. occurring between or involving two or more membranes
  5. 7. coenzyme C21H28N7O17P3 of numerous dehydrogenases (such as that acting on glucose-6-phosphate) that occurs especially in red blood cells and plays a role in intermediary metabolism similar to NAD but acting often on different metabolites
  6. 9. synthesis of chemical compounds with the aid of radiant energy and especially light
