Photosynthesis
Across
- 4. The process that uses the sun's energy to make glucose (simple sugar)
- 6. Does not require oxygen
- 7. Adenosine Triphosphate is an energy molecule that provides direct energy to your cells
- 8. Organisms that make their own food
- 10. Green pigments found in chloroplasts, that are essential to photosynthesis because they allow plants to absorb energy from light
- 11. First stage of cellular respiration and it is an anaerobic process that produces a net of 2 ATP molecules
- 12. The organelle where aerobic respiration takes place
- 13. The process by which organisms break down food molecules (glucose) to produce ATP
- 15. Second stage of cellular respiration and it is an aerobic process that occurs in the mitochondria and produces 2 ATP along with a byproduct of carbon dioxide
Down
- 1. Daylight- Converts sunlight to ATP and happens in the thylakoid discs
- 2. Third stage of cellular respiration and it is an aerobic process that occurs in the mitochondria and produces 32 ATP and water as a byproduct
- 3. Organisms that obtain food by consuming other living things
- 5. 24 hours- ATP and other molecules made during light reactions are used to make glucose and happens in the stroma
- 9. Organelles that conduct photosynthesis in plant cells, where chlorophyll captures sunlight's energy, converts it, and stores it
- 14. Requires oxygen
