Bioenergetics

2. A eukaryotic organism that cannot be classified as an animal, plant, or fungus.
5. An organelle found in large numbers in most cells, in which the biochemical processes of respiration and energy production occur.
6. Chemical formula for water
8. main energy source that cells use for most of their work
9. A flattened membrane sac inside the chloroplast, used to convert light energy into chemical energy.
12. reactions of photosynthesis that use energy from light to produce ATP and NADPH
13. gas that enters the blood through the lungs and travels to the heart to be pumped via arteries to all body cells
15. a colorless, odorless gas produced by burning carbon and organic compounds and by respiration. It is naturally present in air (about 0.03 percent) and is absorbed by plants in photosynthesis.
16. An electron carrier involved in photosynthesis. Light drives electrons from chlorophyll to NADP+, forming NADPH, which provides the high-energy electrons for the reduction of carbon dioxide to sugar in the Calvin cycle.
17. multicellular eukaryote that produces its own food through photosynthesis

1. set of reactions in photosynthesis that do not require light; energy from ATP and NADPH is used to build high-energy compounds such as sugar; also called the Calvin cycle
3. (microbiology) single-celled or noncellular spherical or spiral or rod-shaped organisms lacking chlorophyll that reproduce by fission
4. the material or protoplasm within a living cell, excluding the nucleus.
7. the form of sugar that circulates in the blood and provides the major source of energy for body tissues. When its level is low, we feel hunger.
10. An organelle found in plant and algae cells where photosynthesis occurs
11. The fluid of the chloroplast surrounding the thylakoid membrane; involved in the synthesis of organic molecules from carbon dioxide and water.
14. The compound that remains when a phosphate group is removed from ATP, releasing energy
