Across
- 2. A plastid in the cells of green plants and green algae that contains chlorophylls and carotenoid pigments and creates glucose through photosynthesis In plants
- 4. respiration is the process through which cells convert fuel into energy and nutrients
- 7. a flattened sac or vesicle lined with a pigmented membrane that is the site of photosynthesis, in plants and algae occurring in interconnected stacks constituting a granum of the chloroplast and in other photosynthesizing organisms occurring either singly or as part of the cell membrane or other structure
- 10. a nucleotide C10H15N5O10P2 composed of adenosine and two phosphate groups that is formed in living cells
- 11. cycle A series of chemical reactions that occurs as part of the dark reactions of photosynthesis in which carbon is broken away from gaseous carbon dioxide and fixed as organic carbon in compounds that are ultimately used to make sugars and starch as food
- 13. chemical process by which molecules such as glucose are broken down anaerobically
- 14. and lactic acid fermentation Alcohol fermentation occurs in micro-organisms such as yeast and converts glucose to energy which is released as carbon dioxide
- 17. dependent reaction The series of biochemical reactions in photosynthesis that require light energy that is captured by light-absorbing pigments
- 18. cycle a cycle of enzyme-catalyzed reactions in living cells that is the final series of reactions of aerobic metabolism of carbohydrates proteins
Down
- 1. respiration is the process by which organisms use oxygen to turn fuel such as fats and sugars into chemical
- 3. The simple sugar that is the chief source of energy
- 5. is used at the end of a list to indicate that you have mentioned
- 6. Nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD) and its relative nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate
- 8. the enzymatic breakdown of a carbohydrate (as glucose or glycogen) by way of phosphate derivatives with the production of pyruvic or lactic acid and energy stored in high-energy phosphate bonds of ATP
- 9. a phosphorylated nucleotide C10H16N5O13P3 composed of adenosine and three phosphate groups that supplies energy
- 10. respiration is the type of respiration through which cells can break down sugars to generate energy
- 12. NADPH stands for nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate hydrogen
- 15. is a colorless and odorless gas that people need to breath An example of oxygen is the colorless and odorless gas that you breath in every day
- 16. the supporting framework or matrix of a cell
