Photosynthesis
Across
- 2. the cycle of chemical reactions where the carbon from the carbon cycle is fixed into sugars
- 4. a colorless odorless gas found in our atmosphere
- 5. the source of energy for use and storage at the cellular level
- 7. the cycle of chemical reactions where the carbon from the carbon cycle is fixed into sugars
- 14. biochemical reactions in photosynthesis requiring light energy that is captured by light
- 15. the process in which glucose is broken down to produce energy
- 16. the main type of sugar in the blood and is the major source of energy for the body's cells
- 18. without oxygen
- 19. the process in which a substance breaks down into a simpler substa
- 20. the process in which glucose is broken down to produce energy
Down
- 1. energy from the sun that is converted into thermal or electrical energy
- 3. biochemical reactions in photosynthesis not requiring light to proceed
- 6. an enzyme that catalyzes the formation of the energy storage molecule
- 8. plant cell organelles that convert light energy into relatively stable chemical energy via the photosynthetic process
- 9. a pigment present in all green plants and a few other organisms
- 10. The addition of oxygen to any system, including the human body.
- 11. a naturally occurring sugar found in various amounts in plants like fruits, vegetables and nuts
- 12. a series of chemical reactions in living things
- 13. the process by which plants use sunlight, water, and carbon dioxide to create oxygen and energy in the form of sugar.
- 17. tiny openings present on the epidermis of leaves.
