  1. 2. Abbreviation for Adenosine Triphosphate.
  2. 5. "Construction sites" within cells where proteins are made.
  3. 6. Green pigment in plant cells' chloroplasts that absorbs solar energy and converts it into chemical energy in order to make glucose.
  4. 8. Abbreviation for ribonucleic acid.
  5. 9. A sugar molecule produced by plants during photosynthesis (and provides chemical energy necessary for survival).
  6. 12. A structure surrounding plant cells which acts a support layer (and is made out of the complex carbohydrate, cellulose).
  7. 14. ______ reactions occur in chloroplasts in the presence of sunlight (and produce the energy molecules required for the dark reactions).
  8. 16. A byproduct of photosynthesis necessary for keeping multicellular organisms alive.
  9. 20. ______ reactions occur in chloroplasts in the absence of sunlight (and these reactions form glucose).
  10. 21. The splitting apart of glucose into two 3-carbon compounds (which occurs in the cytoplasm of the cell).
  11. 22. Cellular organelle in which respiration occurs (also know as the "powerhouse of the cell."
  12. 23. Molecule made up of carbon and oxygen which, along with water, is required to make sugar during photosynthetis.
  13. 24. Complex molecules made out of amino acids which are necessary for support, immune responses, cellular messaging and transport.
  14. 25. The lipid (or "fatty") bi-layer surrounding every cell.

  1. 1. A series of chemical reactions occurring within the mitochondrial membranes that leads to the production of cellular energy (ATP)
  2. 3. A series of chemical reactions occurring in a cell's mitochondria that generates energy from carbohydrates (or sugars).
  3. 4. High energy molecules used by cells, which include sugars and starches.
  4. 7. An animal's natural coloring or form that helps it blend into its surroundings.
  5. 10. Process by which organisms (especially plants)use sunlight energy to produce sugars.
  6. 11. Cellular organelle found in plant cells which carry out photosynthesis.
  7. 13. The liquid portion of the cell.
  8. 15. Process by which organisms produce cellular energy required for survival.
  9. 17. Molecule formed from combination of hydrogen and oxygen at the end of the electron transport chain in mitochondria.
  10. 18. Long-term storage form of energy made out of fatty acids and glycerol (also known as "fats").
  11. 19. Cell organelle surrounded by its own membrane for extra protection, and it contains chromosomal DNA.
  12. 20. Abbreviation for deoxyribonucleic acid.
