Biology Unit 2
Across
- 5. Pigment in chloroplasts, used to trap light energy during photosynthesis
- 8. Type of organism that breaks down biotic compounds into abiotic compounds, recyclers
- 9. Sphere of earth, all living things on earth
- 13. Nutrient, used in proteins and nucleic acids, must be "fixed" for living things to use, often limited
- 14. Type of organism that must eat other organisms to obtain energy
- 16. Nutrient, forms the back bone for all macromolecules in living things
- 17. Describes a situation in which oxygen is not present
- 20. Nutrient, used in phosphates of nucleic acids and phospholipids of membranes, often limited
- 24. Substances at the beginning of a chemical reaction, changed into products
- 25. Second step of photosynthesis, uses energy in ATP and NADPH to make glucose (C6H12O6) from CO2
- 26. Adenosine diphosphate, uncharged energy storage molecule with 2 phosphate
- 27. Second step of anaerobic respiration, 2 types include alcoholic and lactic acid
Down
- 1. Sphere of earth, all the water on earth
- 2. Second step of aerobic respiration, pyruvate is broken down while NADH and FADH2 are made, releases CO2
- 3. Process of breaking down glucose to make ATP, starts with C6H12O6 and O2 and ends with CO2 and H2O
- 4. Organelle, site of steps 2 and 3 of aerobic cellular respiration
- 6. Type of organism that is able to make its own food, base of the food chain
- 7. Sphere of earth, all the soil and rocks on earth
- 10. Process of using light energy to make glucose, starts with CO2 and H2O and ends with C6H12O6 and O2
- 11. First step of aerobic respiration, breaks down glucose (C6H12O6) into pyruvate, make some NADH
- 12. Describes a situation in which oxygen is present
- 15. First step of photosynthesis, uses sunlight to split H2O and make ATP and NADPH, O2 is released
- 17. Adenosine triphosphate, charged energy storage molecule with 3 phosphorus groups
- 18. Third step of aerobic respiration, NADH and FADH2 from earlier reactions are used to make 32 units of ATP
- 19. Anything that has mass and takes up space, makes up everything
- 21. Substances created during a chemical reaction, made from reactants
- 22. Organelle - site of photosynthesis
- 23. Sphere of earth, all the gases surrounding the earth
