Molecular biology

5. The process by which the body breaks down substances and gets energy from food.
6. found in cells of plants and other organisms that performs photosynthesis.
8. Powerhouse of the cell organelle that is the site of ATP (energy) production.
9. Source of nourishment
11. the second process of photosynthesis
14. an organism that cannot make its own food.
16. The initial stage of photosynthesis which traps light energy to produce
17. An energy-rich organic compound made of the elements carbon, hydrogen and oxygen.
19. Process by which cells release energy in the absence of oxygen.
22. Energy-rich organic compound, such as a fat, oil, or wax, that is made of carbon, hydrogen and oxygen.
24. The process of producing cellular energy without oxygen.
25. The process that breaks down complex molecules of food into smaller molecules so the body can use them. Glucose Simple sugar that is an important energy source in living organisms; component of many carbohydrates.

1. The process by which plants and other organisms capture the energy in sunlight and use it to make food.
2. An organism that makes its own food.
3. Process that releases energy by breaking down glucose and other food molecules in the presence of oxygen.
4. Makes proteins for the cell.
7. 6CO2 + 6H2O -> C6H12O6 + 6O2
10. The amount of energy required to maintain minimum essential life functions.
12. The process of producing cellular energy involving oxygen.
