VCE BIOLOGY Unit 3 AOS 2
Across
- 2. : All chemical reactions that occur in living cells
- 4. : Process by which plants convert light energy to chemical energy stored in glucose
- 5. respiration : Process that releases energy (ATP) from glucose molecules
- 6. inhibitor : Inhibitor that binds elsewhere on the enzyme, changing the shape of the active site
- 8. inhibitor : Inhibitor that competes with the substrate for the active site
- 10. : Anaerobic process producing small amounts of ATP and by-products like ethanol or lactic acid
- 12. independent reactions : Stage of photosynthesis that uses ATP and NADPH to synthesise glucose
- 13. : Energy-carrying molecule that provides immediate energy for cellular processes
- 15. : Non-protein molecule or ion that assists enzyme activity
- 16. : Structural change of a protein that results in loss of function due to heat or pH
- 17. pathway : Series of enzyme-controlled reactions that produce a specific product
Down
- 1. : First stage of cellular respiration where glucose is broken down into pyruvate in the cytosol
- 3. : Molecule that decreases enzyme activity by binding to the enzyme
- 5. : Organelle containing chlorophyll where photosynthesis occurs
- 7. : Organic cofactor that transfers chemical groups or energy during reactions
- 9. : Biological catalyst that speeds up chemical reactions by lowering activation energy
- 11. : Organelle that is the site of aerobic respiration and ATP production
- 12. dependent reactions : Stage of photosynthesis that captures light to produce ATP and NADPH
- 14. site : Region on an enzyme where the substrate binds and the reaction occurs
