Biology Unit Two
Across
- 5. A flattened membrane sac inside the chloroplast, used to convert light energy into chemical energy, site of the light reactions
- 8. Respiration that does not require oxygen
- 9. The fluid of the chloroplast surrounding the thylakoid membrane; involved in the synthesis of organic molecules from carbon dioxide and water (Calvin/Dark reaction)
- 10. organelle that is the site of ATP (energy) production
- 11. process by which plants and some other organisms use light energy to convert water and carbon dioxide into oxygen and high-energy carbohydrates such as sugars and starches steps include: capture light, light dependent reactions, calvin cycle.
- 12. organism that obtains energy from the foods it consumes; also called a consumer
- 14. second stage of cellular respiration, in which pyruvic acid is broken down into carbon dioxide, takes place in the mitochondria, produces ATP and NADH
- 15. A process used by yeast cells and some bacteria to produce carbon dioxide and ethyl alcohol
- 17. Produced by fermentation and oxidation of natural carbohydrates is called vinegar
- 18. a cluster composed of hundreds of chlorophyll molecules and accessory pigments used to harvest light molecules for photosynthesis
- 19. An organelle found only in plant and algae cell, site of photosynthesis occurs
- 20. Respiration that requires oxygen
Down
- 1. The conversion of pyruvate to lactate with no release of carbon dioxide
- 2. Process that releases energy by breaking down glucose and other food molecules in the presence of oxygen, takes place in plants and animals, happens in 3 processes
- 3. Process by which cells release energy in the absence of oxygen
- 4. reactions of photosynthesis that use energy from light to produce ATP and NADPH, also produces O2
- 6. Green pigment in plants that absorbs light energy used to carry out photosynthesis, found in the thylakoid of the chloroplast
- 7. The movement of phosphorus atoms from rocks through the biosphere and hydrosphere and back to rocks.
- 13. uses the high-energy electrons from the Krebs cycle to convert ADP into ATP, takes place in the mitochondria, produces the most ATP of any of the processes (34 ATP)
- 15. Organisms that make their own food
- 16. the passage of energy through the components of the ecosystem
