Across
  1. 2. The cell organelle responsible for photosynthesis. Often referred to as the "kitchen" of the plant cell.
  2. 3. A simple sugar molecule that is the primary source of energy for cells.
  3. 7. (adenosine triphosphate) The energy molecule used by cells for various functions. Cellular respiration produces ATP.
  4. 8. The process by which plants and some other organisms use sunlight, water, and carbon dioxide to produce glucose (sugar) and oxygen.
  5. 10. The sugar molecule produced by photosynthesis. It is used for energy or stored for later use.
  6. 14. The energy source that powers photosynthesis.
  7. 15. (CO₂): A waste product of cellular respiration.
  8. 16. A specialized structure within a cell that performs a specific function.
  9. 17. product: A substance produced by a process that is no longer needed by the organism.

  1. 1. The process by which cells break down glucose (sugar) and release energy for cellular functions. It requires oxygen (aerobic respiration) and produces carbon dioxide and water as waste products.
  2. 4. The ability to do work.
  3. 5. A green pigment found in chloroplasts that traps sunlight energy for photosynthesis.
  4. 6. The cell organelle responsible for cellular respiration. Often referred to as the "powerhouse" of the cell.
  5. 9. (O₂) A gas required for cellular respiration.
  6. 11. (H₂O) Another waste product of cellular respiration.
  7. 12. (H₂O) A raw material used in photosynthesis.
  8. 13. (O₂): A waste product of photosynthesis. This oxygen is released into the atmosphere and is essential for animal respiration.
