THE ENERGY OF LIFE
Across
- 7. The "powerhouse" of the cell where cellular respiration is completed to create energy.
- 9. The chain formed by amino acids.
- 10. The main sugar (C6H12O6) produced during photosynthesis and broken down in glycolysis.
- 13. The source of energy that plants use to start the process of photosynthesis.
- 15. The metabolic pathway that breaks down glucose into two molecules of pyruvate.
- 17. The piece of DNA that encodes a certain protein.
Down
- 1. The process cells use to get energy from glucose when there is no oxygen.
- 2. The green pigment in plants that captures sunlight for photosynthesis.
- 3. Organisms, like plants, that can produce their own food using light or chemical energy.
- 4. Cell division.
- 5. Can be malignant or benign.
- 6. Along with CO_2, plants need this liquid to perform photosynthesis.
- 8. The main "energy molecule" created during cellular respiration.
- 11. The gas produced by plants as a waste product, which humans need to breathe.
- 12. The place in the cell where Glycolysis happens.
- 14. Set of genes.
- 15. CODE The set of triplets to which certain amino acids correspond.
- 16. The main "organ" of the plant where photosynthesis usually takes place.
