Photosynthesis and Cellular Respiration
Across
- 2. a molecule in chloroplasts that absorbs some of the energy in visible light
- 5. is a lower-energy molecule that can be converted into ATP
- 6. it's what causes your muscles to "burn" during hard exercise.
- 7. does not need oxygen to take place
- 8. stacks of coin-shaped, membranes-enclosed compartments
- 12. meaning that it needs oxygen to take place
- 14. splits glucose into two three-carbon molecules and makes two molecules of ATP
- 16. uses energy from the light-dependent reactions to make sugars
Down
- 1. transfers energy to cell processes
- 3. captures energy from sunlight
- 4. releases chemical energy from sugars and other carbon-based molecules to make ATP when oxygen is present
- 9. a process that captures energy from the sunlight to make sugars that store chemical energy
- 10. a process by which some organisms use chemical energy instead of light energy to make energy-storing carbon-based molecules
- 11. does not make ATP, but it allows glycolysis to continue
- 13. a series of chemical reactions
- 15. produces molecules that carry energy to the second part of the cellular respiration
