  1. 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.
  2. 4. relating to, involving, or requiring an absence of free oxygen.
  3. 7. the breakdown of glucose by enzymes, releasing energy and pyruvic acid.
  4. 9. use light energy to make two molecules needed for the next stage of photosynthesis
  5. 10. a plastid that contains chlorophyll and in which photosynthesis takes place.
  6. 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).
  7. 12. energy obtained from the breakdown of food molecules and releases it to fuel other cellular processes
  8. 13. is an alpha-hydroxy acid (AHA) due to the presence of carboxyl group adjacent to the hydroxyl group.
  9. 14. the action of breathing.
  10. 15. the sequence of reactions by which most living cells generate energy during the process of aerobic respiration.
  11. 16. relating to, involving, or requiring free oxygen.

  1. 1. is a chemical compound, a simple alcohol with the chemical formula C. 2H. 6O
  2. 2. the process by which green plants and some other organisms use sunlight to synthesize foods from carbon dioxide and water.
  3. 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
  4. 6. the chemical breakdown of a substance by bacteria, yeasts, or other microorganisms, typically involving effervescence and the giving off of heat.
  5. 8. in botany, refers to the colorless fluid surrounding the grana within the chloroplast.
