photosynthesis & Cellular Respiration
Across
- 4. the process by which plants use sunlight, water, and carbon dioxide to create oxygen and energy in the form of sugar.
- 5. a series of biochemical reactions in photosynthesis not requiring light to proceed, and ultimately produce organic molecules from carbon dioxide.
- 6. any colored material found in a plant or animal cell.
- 11. the sequential transfer of electron
- 12. an organelle within the cells of plants and certain algae that is the site of photosynthesis
- 16. a simple sugar that is an important energy source in living organisms and is a component of many carbohydrates.
- 18. A process in which glucose (sugar) is partially broken down by cells in enzyme reactions that do not need oxygen.
- 19. solar radiation that is visible at Earth's surface.
- 20. A chemical process in which oxygen is used to make energy from carbohydrates (sugars).
Down
- 1. a colorless, odorless, tasteless gas essential to living organisms,
- 2. Carbon dioxide is modified by a series of chemical reactions to form carbohydrates
- 3. a clear thin liquid that has no color or taste when it is pure.
- 7. an organism that can produce its own food using light, water, carbon dioxide, or other chemicals.
- 8. a colorless, odorless gas found in our atmosphere.
- 9. Adenosine triphosphate is the source of energy for use and storage at the cellular level.
- 10. a group of green pigments used by organisms that convert sunlight into energy via photosynthesis.
- 13. any of the membranous disks of lamellae within plant chloroplasts that are composed of protein and lipid and are the sites of the photochemical reactions of photosynthesis
- 14. The cells and tissues that support and give structure to organs, glands, or other tissues in the body.
- 15. a chain of reactions occurring in the mitochondria, through which almost all living cells produce energy in aerobic respiration.
- 17. membrane-bound cell organelles
