Across
  1. 3. basic unit of structure and function of living things
  2. 4. energy-carrying molecule that cells use to power their metabolic processes; provides the cell with an immediate usable form of energy
  3. 5. organelle in eukaryotic cells that uses energy stored in glucose to make ATP, which cells can use for energy.
  4. 7. second stage of cellular respiration in which two pyruvate molecules from the first stage react to form ATP, NADH, and FADH2 in the presence of oxygen
  5. 11. simple sugar that all living things use to store and transport energy
  6. 13. organic compound that supplies energy to the body, such as sugar and starch
  7. 14. organism that makes its own food
  8. 16. process in which cells use carbon dioxide, water, and light energy to make oxygen and glucose, an energy-storing sugar
  9. 17. an electrochemical gradient across the thylakoid membrane and the inner membrane of the mitochondrion; due to concentration differences of both positive charges and hydrogen ions
  10. 18. large, complex carbohydrate found in foods such as grains and vegetables that the body uses for energy
  11. 20. third stage of cellular respiration, which occurs on the inner membrane of mitochondria, requires oxygen, and produces up to 34 molecules of ATP
  12. 21. short-term energy carrier; temporarily stores energy during photosynthesis
  13. 22. second stage of photosynthesis in which carbon atoms from carbon dioxide are combined, using the energy in ATP and NADPH, to make glucose
  14. 23. the change of state from a gas to a liquid
  15. 24. flattened sac of membrane inside a chloroplast where the first stage of photosynthesis (light reactions) occur
  16. 25. a biochemical process in which cells break down glucose and oxygen to make carbon dioxide, water, and ATP for energy
  17. 27. structure within the cytoplasm of a cell that is enclosed within a membrane and performs a specific job
Down
  1. 1. first stage of photosynthesis in which light energy from the sun is captured and changed into chemical energy that is stored in ATP and NADPH
  2. 2. series of electron-transport molecules that pass high-energy electrons from molecule to molecule and capture their energy
  3. 6. short-term energy carrier; temporarily stores energy during cellular respiration
  4. 8. molecules that accept and temporarily hold high-energy electrons
  5. 9. splitting water by light; produces the hydrogen ions and electrons used in light reactions and oxygen atoms
  6. 10. process in which an organism builds low-energy inorganic CO2 into high-energy organic molecules like glucose
  7. 12. organic molecules, such as glucose, that organisms use for chemical energy
  8. 15. organelle in the cells of plants and algae, that contains chlorophyll and is the site of photosynthesis
  9. 19. the ability to do work
  10. 26. an atom or group of bonded atoms that has a positive or negative charge
