Across
  1. 3. A gas that is taken in by organisms during cellular respiration and given off as a waste product by plants during photosynthesis
  2. 5. A simple sugar that is an important source of energy
  3. 8. A gas that is taken in by plants during photosynthesis and given off by organisms during cellular respiration
  4. 10. 6CO2 + 6H2O -LIGHT-----> C6H12O6 + 6O2
  5. 12. A liquid taken in by plants during photosynthesis and given off by organisms during cellular respiration
  6. 13. The molecule that remains when a phosphate group is removed from ATP. It has a low amount of energy
  7. 16. Reactions of photosynthesis that use energy from light to produce ATP and NADPH
  8. 17. C6H12O6 + 6O2 ----> 6CO2 + 6H2O + ATP
Down
  1. 1. Set of reactions in photosynthesis that does not require light; energy from ATP and NADPH is used to build high-energy compounds such as sugar; also called the Calvin Cycle
  2. 2. The process by which plants and some other organisms use light energy to convert water and carbon dioxide into oxygen and high-energy carbohydrates
  3. 4. First step of cellular respiration. The energy of glucose, in which a molecule of glucose is broken into two molecules of pyruvic acid and 2 ATP molecules
  4. 6. Third stage of cellular respiration in which NADH and FADH2 are broken down by a series of reactions to form water and 34 ATP
  5. 7. The second stage of cellular respiration in which pyruvic acid is broken down into carbon dioxide, 2 ATP molecules, 2 FADH2 molecules, and 6 NADH molecules in a series of energy-extracting reactions
  6. 9. The process that releases energy by breaking down glucose and other food molecules in the presence of oxygen
  7. 11. The main energy source that cells use for most of their work
  8. 14. An organelle found in plant and algae cells where photosynthesis takes place
  9. 15. The powerhouse of the cell, the organelle that is the site of ATP production during cellular respiration
