  1. 3. (H2O) A liquid taken in by plants during photosynthesis and given off by organisms during cellular respiration.
  2. 4. first step of cellular respiration during which glucose is broken down into pyruvate to make ATP and NADH. Happens in the cytoplasm.
  3. 7. Powerhouse of the cell, organelle that is the site of ATP (energy) production during cellular respiration.
  4. 9. reactions of photosynthesis that use energy from light and water(H2O) to produce ATP and NADPH. Oxygen is given off.
  5. 11. Process that releases energy by breaking down glucose and other food molecules in the presence of oxygen
  6. 13. process by which plants and some other organisms use light energy to convert water and carbon dioxide into oxygen and high-energy carbohydrates such as sugars and starches
  7. 14. (O2) A gas that is taken in by organisms during cellular respiration and give off as a waste product by plants during photosynthesis.
  8. 15. third stage of cellular respiration in which NADH and FADH2 are broken down by a series of reactions to make 34 ATP. Oxygen (O2) is also turned into water (H2O)
Down
  1. 1. set of reactions in photosynthesis that use energy from ATP and NADPH to turn carbon dioxide (CO2) into glucose.
  2. 2. second stage of cellular respiration, in which pyruvate is broken down into carbon dioxide, 2 ATP molecules, 2 FADH2 molecules and 6 NADH molecules in a series of energy-extracting reactions. Happens in the mitochondria.
  3. 5. (CO2) A gas that is taken in by plants during photosynthesis and given off by organisms during cellular respiration.
  4. 6. (adenosine triphosphate) main energy source that cells use for most of their work.
  5. 8. (Adenosine Diphosphate) The molecule that remains when a phosphate group is removed from ATP. It has a low amount of energy.
  6. 10. A simple sugar that is an important source of energy. (C6H12O6)
  7. 12. An organelle found in plant and algae cells where photosynthesis occurs.
