Vocab 4
Across
- 3. Process where Carbon is taken from the air by green plants, algae, and some bacteria. It makes glucose from sunlight, water, and carbon dioxide.
- 7. a stack of thylakoid membranes in a chloroplast
- 9. Molecule in chloroplasts that accepts high-energy electrons.
- 10. Type of fermentation that makes alcohol and COz, as seen in yeast and some bacteria.
- 12. Organelle in plant cells and some algae where photosynthesis takes place.
- 13. Type of fermentation that makes lactic acid, common in muscles.
- 17. Fluid in chloroplasts around the grana (thylakoid stacks), where the Calvin Cycle (light-independent reactions) happens.
- 24. an organism that gets energy by consuming other organisms for its energy and nutrition.
- 25. Respiration that uses oxygen to produce energy
Down
- 1. Series of reactions in mitochondria that produce energy and COs during aerobic respiration.
- 2. An anaerobic process that follows glycolysis, making lactic acid or alcohol.
- 4. Part of photosynthesis where CO, is turned into glucose using ATP energy.
- 5. Group of pigments and proteins in chloroplasts that capture light energy.
- 6. first stage of cellular respiration in which glucose is broken down into pyruvic acid and ATP.
- 8. Series of molecules found in the mitochondria and chloroplasts that move electrons to make energy.
- 11. An organism that makes its own food, like plants, through photosynthesis or chemosynthesis
- 14. Process of converting COz into organic compounds, like in photosynthesis. 17. Stomata (singular: stoma): Tiny openings on leaves that let COz in and O2 out.
- 15. CAM (Crassulacean Acid Metabolism). An adaptation some plants use to store CO: at night for daytime photosynthesis. 19. Cellular Respiration:.Process where cells break down food (carbon compounds) to make energy or АТР.
- 16. A sac inside chloroplasts where light reactions occur.
- 18. Red, orange, or yellow pigments that help in photosynthesis.
- 19. A 3-carbon molecule formed during glycolysis, important in cellular respiration.
- 20. green pigment found in chloroplasts
- 21. Reactions First part of photosynthesis where light energy becomes chemical energy. This occurs in the thylakoid membranes of chloroplasts.
- 22. Processes that happen without oxygen.
- 23. A molecule that absorbs light, giving color to plants.
