Bioenergetics Crossword

2. A process that doesn’t require oxygen.
4. Organisms like animals that get food by consuming it.
5. The first stage of cellular respiration; glucose is broken down into 2 molecules of pyruvate. Occurs in the cytoplasm.
8. The first stage of photosynthesis where energy from the sun is captured by chlorophyll and stored in molecules. Takes place in the thylakoids and produces oxygen.
11. the process that all organisms use to release energy by breaking down glucose. Produces ATP, CO2, and water.
14. A process that requires oxygen.
15. The discs in the chloroplasts where the light-dependent reaction takes place. Thylakoids store chlorophyll so it can absorb light.
16. The area in the chloroplasts that isn’t thylakoid stacks, where the Calvin Cycle (light-independent) takes place.
18. The nucleotide that is part of ATP.
20. The light-independent reactions where the energy captured from the sun is used to make glucose. Takes place in the stroma in the chloroplast.
21. An organism that produces its own food through photosynthesis; plants or algae
22. The 5-carbon sugar that is part of ATP.

1. The process by which plant cells make food and oxygen from water, carbon dioxide, and sunlight.
3. The molecule in chloroplast that makes them green; chlorophyll absorbs the energy from the sun so photosynthesis can occur.
6. Adenosine triphosphate, the molecule living things use to store and release energy.
7. The simple sugar produced from photosynthesis and broken down in cellular respiration.
9. or Grana (pl) The stacks of thylakoids in the chloroplast.
10. The process in cellular-respiration completed after glycolysis if oxygen is not present.
12. group The parts of the ATP molecule where energy is stored in chemical bonds.
13. The organelles known as the "power houses of the cell" where the stored energy of food is made available for use within the cell.
17. The process in cellular respiration completed after glycolysis if oxygen is present. Produces CO2 and lots of ATP; occurs in the mitochondria.
19. The chlorophyll-containing organelles found in the cytoplasm of plant and algae cells. Chloroplasts capture energy from sunlight and convert it into chemical energy during photosynthesis.
