Photosynthesis
Across
- 3. each of a number of flattened sacs inside a chloroplast, bounded by pigmented membranes on which the light reactions of photosynthesis take place, and arranged in stacks or grana.
- 4. relating to, involving, or requiring an absence of free oxygen.
- 7. the breakdown of glucose by enzymes, releasing energy and pyruvic acid.
- 9. use light energy to make two molecules needed for the next stage of photosynthesis
- 10. a plastid that contains chlorophyll and in which photosynthesis takes place.
- 11. an organelle found in large numbers in most cells, in which the biochemical processes of respiration and energy production occur. It has a double membrane, the inner layer being folded inward to form layers (cristae).
- 12. energy obtained from the breakdown of food molecules and releases it to fuel other cellular processes
- 13. is an alpha-hydroxy acid (AHA) due to the presence of carboxyl group adjacent to the hydroxyl group.
- 14. the action of breathing.
- 15. the sequence of reactions by which most living cells generate energy during the process of aerobic respiration.
- 16. relating to, involving, or requiring free oxygen.
Down
- 1. is a chemical compound, a simple alcohol with the chemical formula C. 2H. 6O
- 2. the process by which green plants and some other organisms use sunlight to synthesize foods from carbon dioxide and water.
- 5. The electron transport chain is a series of electron transporters embedded in the inner mitochondrial membrane that shuttles electrons from NADH and FADH2 to molecular oxygen
- 6. the chemical breakdown of a substance by bacteria, yeasts, or other microorganisms, typically involving effervescence and the giving off of heat.
- 8. in botany, refers to the colorless fluid surrounding the grana within the chloroplast.
