Photosynthesis
Across
- 3. a biochemical process in which cells break down glucose and oxygen to make carbon dioxide, water, and ATP for energy.
- 4. an individual living thing
- 5. organic compound that supplies energy to the body, such as sugar and starch.
- 9. process in which cells use carbon dioxide, water, and light energy to make oxygen and glucose, an energy-storing sugar.
- 11. first stage of photosynthesis
- 14. flattened sac of membrane inside a chloroplast where the first stage of photosynthesis occurs.
- 15. organelle in the cells of plants and algae, that contains chlorophyll and is the site of photosynthesis.
- 17. splitting water by light
- 18. sugar
- 20. a protein molecule that is attached to, or associated with, the membrane of a cell or an organelle.
Down
- 1. green pigment in a chloroplast that absorbs light
- 2. second stage of photosynthesis in which carbon atoms from carbon dioxide are combined, using the energy in ATP and NADPH, to make glucose.
- 6. exchange of oxygen and carbon dioxide between the body and the outside air
- 7. organism that makes its own food.
- 8. organelle in the cell of plants and algae that contains chlorophyll and is the site of photosynthesis.
- 10. short-term energy carrier,temporarily stores energy during photosynthesis.
- 12. large, complex carbohydrate found in foods such as grains and vegetables that the body uses for energy.
- 13. organelle in eukaryotic cells that uses energy stored in glucose to make ATP.
- 16. energy-carrying molecule that cells use to power their metabolic processes
- 19. a protein that acts as a biological catalyst
