Photosynthesis and Cellular Respiration
Across
- 3. A reaction that absorbs energy from its surroundings, usually in the form of heat.
- 4. The solid part of the Earth, consisting of rocks, minerals, and soil.
- 6. An organelle known as the powerhouse of the cell, where ATP is produced.
- 7. A process that leads to the transformation of one set of chemical substances to another.
- 9. The attraction between atoms that allows the formation of chemical substances.
- 14. A reaction that releases energy, usually in the form of heat.
- 16. An organelle in plant cells where photosynthesis takes place.
- 17. A substance that is formed as a result of a chemical reaction.
- 18. A group of atoms bonded together, representing the smallest fundamental unit of a chemical compound.
- 21. Energy that travels by waves or particles, particularly electromagnetic radiation such as light.
- 22. The process by which green plants use sunlight to synthesize foods with the help of chlorophyll.
- 23. A green pigment found in plants that is essential for photosynthesis.
- 24. All the water on Earth's surface, including oceans, rivers, and lakes.
- 25. A substance that takes part in and undergoes change during a chemical reaction.
Down
- 1. The series of processes by which carbon compounds are interconverted in the environment.
- 2. Referring to processes that require oxygen to occur.
- 5. A simple sugar that is an important energy source in living organisms.
- 8. A substance that gives color to plant tissues and is involved in photosynthesis.
- 10. Referring to processes that occur without oxygen.
- 11. Energy stored in the bonds of chemical compounds, which can be released during a chemical reaction.
- 12. Adenosine triphosphate, the primary energy carrier in cells.
- 13. The process by which cells convert glucose and oxygen into energy, carbon dioxide, and water.
- 15. The stored energy in an object due to its position or arrangement.
- 19. The layer of gases surrounding the Earth, essential for life.
- 20. The global sum of all ecosystems, representing the zone of life on Earth.
