- 5. A product of anaerobic respiration in muscle cells.
- 8. A type of fermentation where glucose is converted into ethanol, carbon dioxide, and energy, commonly occurring in yeast.
- 10. Cellular respiration that requires oxygen to produce ATP.
- 11. The first stage of photosynthesis, where light energy is converted into chemical energy in the form of ATP and NADPH.
- 14. The green pigment in plants that absorbs light energy for photosynthesis.
- 15. An enzyme involved in the Calvin Cycle that catalyzes the first step of carbon fixation.
- 17. The fluid-filled space surrounding the thylakoids in chloroplasts; site of the Calvin Cycle
- 18. The product of ATP dephosphorylation, which releases energy.
- 19. The second stage of photosynthesis, where ATP and NADPH are used to synthesize glucose.
- 20. A series of proteins in the mitochondrial membrane that produce ATP through oxidative phosphorylation.
- 22. An electron carrier produced in the Krebs Cycle, used in the electron transport chain
- 25. are small openings, or pores, on the surface of leaves and stems of plants that allow for gas exchange. They enable plants to take in carbon dioxide (CO₂) for photosynthesis and release oxygen (O₂) as a byproduct.
- 26. The primary energy carrier in cells.
- 27. The process by which plants and other organisms convert light energy into chemical energy stored in glucose.
- 28. A simple sugar that is the primary fuel for cellular respiration.

- 1. The organelle in plant cells where photosynthesis occurs.
- 2. The end product of glycolysis, which enters the mitochondria for the Krebs Cycle in the presence of oxygen.
- 3. The cell's powerhouse where cellular respiration and ATP production occur.
- 4. The first step of cellular respiration, where glucose is broken down into pyruvate, yielding ATP.
- 6. Cellular respiration that occurs without oxygen.
- 7. Citric Acid Cycle) - The second stage of cellular respiration, producing electron carriers that fuel the electron transport chain.
- 9. Stacks of thylakoids within the chloroplast increase the surface area for light absorption in photosynthesis.
- 12. Membrane-bound structures within chloroplasts that contain chlorophyll; the site of the light-dependent reactions of photosynthesis.
- 13. An anaerobic process that allows glycolysis to continue without oxygen, producing either lactic acid or ethanol.
- 16. An electron carrier in cellular respiration
- 21. The starting substances in a chemical reaction, such as water, carbon dioxide, and light, in photosynthesis.
- 23. The reduced form of NAD+; carries electrons to the electron transport chain.
