  1. 2. The stage of photosynthesis where light energy is used to split water and produce ATP and NADPH.
  2. 8. The light-independent stage of photosynthesis where carbon dioxide is fixed into glucose.
  3. 11. A solution with lower solute concentration than the cell, causing water to enter the cell.
  4. 12. Light-absorbing pigment in chloroplasts essential for converting light energy.
  5. 16. The anabolic process converting light energy, carbon dioxide, and water into glucose and oxygen.
  6. 18. A catabolic process in which cells break down glucose to release ATP.
  7. 21. The first stage of cellular respiration occurring in the cytoplasm, breaking glucose into pyruvate.
  8. 23. A solution with equal solute concentration to the cell, causing no net water movement.
  9. 24. Passive transport of molecules via membrane proteins without using cellular energy.
  10. 25. Double-membraned organelles that are the site of aerobic respiration.

  1. 1. Energy-dependent movement of substances against their concentration gradient.
  2. 3. A series of reactions in the mitochondria that generate electron carriers for the electron transport chain.
  3. 4. Vesicle-mediated release of substances from a cell to the external environment.
  4. 5. Cellular process in which substances are brought into the cell by engulfing them in a vesicle.
  5. 6. Six-carbon sugar that serves as a primary energy source for cells.
  6. 7. Passive movement of water molecules across a semi-permeable membrane from low solute concentration to high.
  7. 9. The main energy currency of the cell used to power cellular processes.
  8. 10. Organelle in plant cells responsible for capturing light energy for photosynthesis.
  9. 13. Final stage of aerobic respiration where most ATP is produced using oxygen.
  10. 14. A solution with higher solute concentration than the cell, causing water to leave the cell.
  11. 15. A difference in the concentration of a substance across a space or membrane.
  12. 17. Net movement of molecules from an area of high concentration to low concentration due to random motion.
  13. 19. A type of endocytosis where the cell engulfs large particles or microorganisms.
  14. 20. The regulation of internal conditions to maintain a stable, constant environment in cells and organisms.
  15. 22. A type of endocytosis involving the ingestion of fluid and dissolved solutes.
