Across
  1. 3. a process requiring respiration
  2. 5. the synthesis of glucose from noncarbohydrate precursors and polysaccharide biosynthesis, particularly the biosynthesis of glycogen in animal cells
  3. 7. processes in which complex substances are degraded to simpler molecules
  4. 10. metabolism, all reactions involved in generating and storing metabolic energy
  5. 12. organisms that can only synthesize their organic metabolites from other organic compounds by consumption. Feed on others
  6. 14. the process by which green plants capture light energy to drive the generation of energy (ATP) and reducing power (NADPH)
Down
  1. 1. processes concerned primarily with the synthesis of complex organic molecules
  2. 2. a stage 2 pathway for the degradation of carbohydrates in both aerobic and anaerobic cells
  3. 4. the intermediates and products of metabolism
  4. 6. metabolism, those pathways of intermediary metabolism that generate or store metabolic energy
  5. 8. organisms that synthesize glucose and all of their other organic compounds from inorganic compound, supplied as carbon dioxide. Also known as self-feeders
  6. 9. process where oxygen is not involved
  7. 11. pathways, those that carry the heaviest traffic and account for most of the mass transfer and energy generation within a cell
  8. 13. a process where energy generation to oxidation of nutrients are coupled by oxygen
