Across
- 5. Membranes inside chloroplasts where light-dependent reactions of photosynthesis happen.
- 6. The membrane inside the mitochondrion where the electron transport chain happens.
- 7. Processes that don’t need oxygen, like fermentation.
- 10. The part of photosynthesis where carbon dioxide is used to make glucose.
- 11. A gas that’s made in cellular respiration and used in photosynthesis.
- 14. A series of proteins that move electrons and help make ATP.

Down
- 1. A molecule that absorbs light energy, like chlorophyll, which helps plants with photosynthesis.
- 2. The fluid inside chloroplasts where the light-independent reactions (Calvin cycle) take place.
- 3. The fluid space inside the mitochondrion where the Krebs cycle happens.
- 4. A part of cellular respiration where pyruvate is broken down more, making energy and carbon dioxide.
- 8. The process where cells break down glucose to make energy.
- 9. Processes that need oxygen, like aerobic respiration.
- 12. The first part of cellular respiration, where glucose is broken down into pyruvate and makes a little energy.
- 13. A molecule that carries energy in cells and helps power cell activities.
