Across
  1. 1. Molecule an enzyme acts upon.
  2. 4. Bulk transport out of the cell.
  3. 6. Bulk transport into the cell.
  4. 7. Cell division producing two genetically identical daughter cells.
  5. 9. Phase where cell grows and replicates DNA (
  6. 12. Change in enzyme structure (due to heat/pH) causing it to lose function.
  7. 13. Site of photosynthesis, contains chlorophyll.
  8. 14. Respiration without oxygen, low ATP yield.
  9. 19. Carbon dioxide is converted to glucose (Calvin Cycle/Stroma).
  10. 21. Specialized structures within a cell (e.g., mitochondria, chloroplast).
  11. 23. Resource in short supply that limits the rate of a reaction (e.g., light,
  12. 27. Process of copying DNA before division.
  13. 28. Semi-permeable barrier controlling movement of substances in/out of the cell.
Down
  1. 2. Biological catalyst, usually a protein, speeding up reactions.
  2. 3. Diffusion of water across a semi-permeable membrane.
  3. 5. Site of aerobic respiration.
  4. 8. Each new DNA molecule contains one original and one new strand.
  5. 10. Minimum energy needed to start a chemical reaction.
  6. 11. Energy carrier molecule ["energy currency"].
  7. 15. Specific region on an enzyme where the substrate binds.
  8. 16. Energy from light splits water.
  9. 17. Respiration using oxygen to break down glucose, producing high ATP yield.
  10. 18. Green pigment absorbing light energy.
  11. 20. First stage of respiration, occurs in cytoplasm.
  12. 22. Passive movement of particles from high to low concentration.
  13. 24. Movement of molecules against a concentration gradient, requiring
  14. 25. Division of the cytoplasm.
  15. 26. Formed when ATP loses a phosphate, releasing energy.
