Across
  1. 3. the biochemical processes of respiration and energy production occur
  2. 7. simple sugar C₆H₁₂O₆
  3. 8. Adenosine triphosphate (energy)
  4. 11. use light energy to make two molecules the energy storage molecule ATP and the reduced electron carrier NADPH
  5. 12. a plastid that contains chlorophyll and in which photosynthesis takes place.
  6. 15. the process of oxidizing food molecules, like glucose, to carbon dioxide and water
  7. 17. the colorless fluid surrounding the grana within the chloroplast.
  8. 19. a series of enzyme-mediated reactions where the product of one reaction is used as the substrate in the next.
  9. 21. a metabolic process by which glucose and other six-carbon sugars are converted into cellular energy and metabolite lactate
  10. 22. O2
Down
  1. 1. the sequence of reactions by which most living cells generate energy during the process of aerobic respiration
  2. 2. a metabolic process that produces chemical changes in organic substrates through the action of enzymes
  3. 4. The reactions of the Calvin cycle add carbon to a simple five-carbon molecule called RuBP. These reactions use chemical energy from NADPH and ATP. The final product is glucose
  4. 5. Dioxide C02
  5. 6. a chemical compound, a simple alcohol with the chemical formula C ₂H ₆O.
  6. 9. a series of electron transporters that shuttle electrons from NADH to molecular oxygen
  7. 10. organisms use sunlight to synthesize food from carbon dioxide and water
  8. 13. H20
  9. 14. the breakdown of glucose by enzymes, releasing energy and pyruvic acid.
  10. 16. produces energy and uses glucose, but it produces less energy and does not require oxygen
  11. 18. the process of producing cellular energy involving oxygen
  12. 20. each of a number of flattened sacs inside a chloroplast, bounded by pigmented membranes on which the light reactions of photosynthesis take place, and arranged in stacks or grana.
