Across
- 3. Respiration that occurs without oxygen
- 4. Molecule that temporarily stores energy in its bonds during cellular respiration; used to drive cellular processes
- 5. A pigment found in chloroplasts that absorbs light energy during photosynthesis
- 7. Final stage of cellular respiration; occurs in mitochondria; electrons are passed through protein carriers; produces 34 ATP
- 8. Tube that connects the throat to the bronchi and carries air to the lungs
- 9. Two main branches of the trachea that lead to the left and right lungs
- 10. First stage of cellular respiration; occurs in the cytoplasm; glucose is broken down into pyruvate; produces 2 ATP
- 11. The inflammation of the air passages in the lungs, often caused by infections
- 12. Produced during anaerobic respiration that occurs in human muscle cells during intense exercise
- 14. Process of inhaling and exhaling air to exchange gases, such as oxygen and carbon dioxide, in the body
- 17. The main organelle where cellular respiration occurs in eukaryotic cells
- 18. The process in plants that converts carbon dioxide and water into glucose and oxygen using energy from the sun
Down
- 1. The main organelle where photosynthesis occurs in plant cells
- 2. The process that occurs in the mitochondria of cells, and converts energy from sugar molecules into ATP
- 4. Tiny air sacs in the lungs where gas exchange between air and blood occurs
- 6. Second stage of cellular respiration; occurs in mitochondria; pyruvate is broken down; produces 2 ATP
- 13. A chronic lung disease characterized by difficulty breathing due to narrowed airways
- 15. Respiration that occurs in the presence of oxygen
- 16. A gas produced during cellular respiration and used by plants during photosynthesis
