BIOLOGY
Across
- 4. Four electrons are removed from four molecules of cytochrome c and transferred to molecular oxygen (O2), producing two molecules of water.
- 8. In this complex, two electrons are removed from NADH and ultimately transferred to a lipid-soluble carrier, ubiquinone (UQ).
- 9. __ATP are made from the products of 1 molecule of glucose.
- 10. How many Phases does the Light-independent reaction cycle have?
- 11. The sequence of reactions by which most living cells generate energy during the process of aerobic respiration.
- 12. It takes place in the thylakoid membranes of organelles called chloroplasts.
- 13. In this stage of the dark reaction cycle the enzyme RuBisCO incorporates carbon dioxide into an organic molecule.
- 14. A system of molecules through which electrons are transferred to generate ATP.
- 15. A green pigment, present in all green plants and in cyanobacteria, responsible for the absorption of light to provide energy for photosynthesis.
Down
- 1. An enzyme that creates the energy storage molecule adenosine triphosphate.
- 2. This reaction cycle is also called the dark reactions, and it occurs in the stroma.
- 3. A set of metabolic reactions and processes that take place in the cells of organisms to convert biochemical energy from nutrients into adenosine triphosphate, and then release waste products.
- 5. A process used by plants and other organisms to convert light energy into chemical energy that can later be released to fuel the organisms' activities.
- 6. A type of organelle known as a plastid, characterized by its two membranes and a high concentration of chlorophyll.
- 7. The metabolic process that serves as the foundation for both aerobic and anaerobic cellular respiration.
