Across
  1. 3. Respiration :what cells do to break up sugars into a form that the cell can use as energy. This happens in all forms of life. This takes in food and uses it to create ATP, a chemical which the cell uses for energy.
  2. 6. respiration :Respiration that requires oxygen
  3. 9. :The distance between two similar parts of a wave
  4. 12. :H2o
  5. 14. :The highest point on a transverse wave
  6. 16. waves :A transverse wave of pure energy that can go through both a medium and empty space (vacuum). Light is this kind of wave.
  7. 17. :the "Food" that plants make for themselves
  8. 18. :Organelle in plant cells that contains the chemical needed for photosynthesis and makes plants green
  9. 19. :The maximum distance from the rest position that the medium moves in a wave
  10. 22. : Essential for human life
  11. 23. Wave : disturbance in matter that carries energy from one place to another
  12. 25. :An organelle in eukaryotic cells that is surrounded by two membranes, and that is the site of cellular respiration, which produces ATP
  13. 27. :The ultimate source of energy
  14. 28. :Two atoms of this are found in water
  15. 30. :When a wave changes direction because it goes into a new medium
  16. 31. :Originates from the glucose molecule but is stored for a very long time aka: fats
  17. 32. Dioxide :This compound is a reactant of photosynthesis, breathed out by animals
  18. 33. :The material a mechanical wave moves through
Down
  1. 1. :The lowest point of a transverse wave
  2. 2. :The parts of a longitudinal wave that are spread apart
  3. 4. wave :A type of wave where the medium moves parallel (horizontal) to the direction the energy is moving. Sound is this type of wave.
  4. 5. :When waves spread out to fill the space through which they are moving
  5. 7. :The parts of a longitudinal wave that are closest together
  6. 8. :Process by which cells release energy in the absence of oxygen (ex. lactic acid or alcoholic). (also called anaerobic respiration)
  7. 10. :A repeated back and forth or up and down motion that gives energy to a wave.
  8. 11. wave :A type of wave where the medium moves perpendicular (vertical) to the direction the energy is moving.
  9. 13. :The fundamental process that plants go through to create their own food 6CO2 + 6H2O + light --> C6H12O6 + 6O2
  10. 15. :When one wave hits another wave, their amplitudes combine and make a new wave
  11. 20. :Originate from glucose molecule, usually found in beans or meat
  12. 21. :Green pigment in the chloroplast of autotrophs that absorbs light energy used to carry out photosynthesis
  13. 24. :A disturbance that transfers energy from place to place
  14. 26. :A jelly like fluid inside the cell in which the organelles are suspended
  15. 29. :How many waves are created every second. Measured in Hertz (Hz)
