Across
- 1. protein channel found in inner chloroplast membrane through which protons pass to catalyse the synthesis of ATP
- 3. electron carrier molecule that becomes reduced during the light dependent reaction to be used in the light independent reaction
- 5. site of the light independent reaction
- 7. absorption of light energy leading to excited electrons leaving the chlorophyll, causing it to become ionised
- 8. the most abundant enzyme on Earth, catalyses the fixing of carbon dioxide to RuBP
Down
- 2. constituents of grana, where the light dependent reaction of photosynthesis takes place
