Cell Energy
Across
- 5. energy that is released or absorbed in chemical reactions.
- 7. organelles found in eukaryotic cells that are the site of aerobic respiration.
- 10. an organelle found in the cells of plants and algae that contains chlorophyll and is the site of photosynthesis.
- 11. adenosine triphosphate, a molecule that provides energy for cellular processes.
- 12. a process by which glucose is partially broken down into pyruvic acid without the use of oxygen.

Down
- 1. a process by which energy is released from food.
- 2. a chemical process that does not use oxygen.
- 3. the process by which light energy is used to combine water and carbon dioxide into glucose and oxygen.
