Photosynthesis and Cellular Respiration
Across
- 5. The step where glucose is split for energy.
- 12. Energy from the sun used in photosynthesis.
- 13. The starting materials in a chemical reaction.
- 17. The ability to do work; made in respiration and used in photosynthesis.
- 18. A gas that plants take in from the air to make food.
- 19. A substance made when muscles work without enough oxygen.
- 21. The first part of photosynthesis that uses sunlight to make energy.
- 23. The process that breaks down food to release energy for the cell.
- 24. A liquid plants use in photosynthesis; taken up by roots.
- 25. A liquid made during cellular respiration as a waste product.
Down
- 1. The green pigment that captures sunlight.
- 2. An organism that makes its own food (like a plant).
- 3. The part of the cell where respiration happens (“powerhouse of the cell”).
- 4. Respiration without oxygen; makes less energy.
- 6. The process plants use to make food from sunlight, water, and carbon dioxide.
- 7. Respiration that uses oxygen.
- 8. A gas made during photosynthesis and released into the air.
- 9. The substances made at the end of a reaction.
- 10. Dioxide, A gas made when cells break down food for energy.
- 11. A gas needed by cells to release energy from food.
- 14. The main energy molecule made by cells.
- 15. Small openings on leaves where gases enter and leave.
- 16. The second part of photosynthesis that makes glucose.
- 20. The green part of a plant cell where photosynthesis happens.
- 22. A sugar made by plants for energy.
