photosynthesis and cellular respiration
Across
- 3. sequence of electron carrier molecules that transports electrons
- 9. electron carrier involved in glycolysis
- 10. Innermost compartment of the mitochondrion
- 12. reactions of photosynthesis that use energy from light to produce ATP and NADPH
- 16. Conversion of light energy from the sun into chemical energy.
- 17. Process that does not require oxygen
- 18. light-independent reactions of photosynthesis in which energy from ATP and NADPH is used to build high-energy compounds such as sugar
- 19. the breakdown of glucose by enzymes, releasing energy and pyruvic acid
- 20. fluid portion of the chloroplast
- 22. Process that requires oxygen
Down
- 1. set of reactions that do not require light
- 2. Process by which cells release energy in the absence of oxygen
- 4. carrier molecule that transfers high-energy electrons from chlorophyll to other molecules
- 5. membrane system found within chloroplasts that contains the components for photosynthesis
- 6. Green pigment in plants that absorbs light energy
- 7. adenosine triphosphate, main energy source for cells
- 8. Molecules that absorb, reflect, or transmit light.
- 11. Process that releases energy by breaking down glucose and other food molecules in the presence of oxygen
- 13. cluster of chlorophyll and proteins found in thylakoids
- 14. second stage of cellular respiration, in which pyruvic acid is broken down into carbon dioxide in a series of energy-extracting reactions
- 15. Large protein that uses energy from H+ ions to bind ADP and a phosphate group together to produce ATP
- 21. Amount of energy needed to raise temperature 1 gram of water 1 degree C
