Across
- 2. reactions in the stroma that don't require light for energy
- 8. This synthesizes ATP and is the powerhouse of the plant cell
- 10. this process breaks down glucose into ATP
- 14. this is a chain of reactions occurring in the mitochondria which produce energy for all of the cell
- 16. the process that plants use to make food from carbon dioxide and sunlight
- 17. This gets captured by chlorophyll and converted into energy
- 18. This is the fluid filling the inner space of the chloroplasts
- 19. an organelle that converts light energy into chemical energy during photosynthesis
Down
- 1. This is used for plant growth, and also used in respiration, where it makes sugar into energy
- 3. an example of this is when sunlight is converted into energy
- 4. electrons are passed from one molecule to another in this process
- 5. This refracts light, and also helps capture sunlight energy
- 6. This is used by plants to make energy and to make starch and cellulose
- 7. This helps the cell's structural support, and also this keeps the plants from dying
- 9. autotrophs are organisms that can make their own food using raw materials and energy
- 11. This soaks up energy from sunlight and is also the reason plants are green
- 12. essential for the process of respiration in plants
- 13. the process in which glucose is broken down to produce energy
- 15. This traps light energy and turns it into different chemical energy forms
