  1. 3. The initial phase of photosynthesis occurring in thylakoid membranes that absorbs light to split water, release oxygen, and create ATP and NADPH.
  2. 5. The branch of biology that studies how living organisms produce, transform, and utilize energy to sustain essential life processes through biochemical reactions.
  3. 7. The double-membraned organelle in plant cells where the reactions of photosynthesis take place.
  4. 9. A sequence of membrane-bound protein complexes in chloroplasts and mitochondria that transfers high-energy electrons to pump protons and drive ATP synthesis
  5. 10. Formed when ATP breaks of a phosphate
  6. 12. Disk-like membrane structures arranged in stacks inside chloroplasts that house photosystems and host the light-dependent reactions.
  7. 15. second phase of photosynthesis occurring in the stroma that uses energy from ATP and NADPH to fix carbon dioxide into glucose.
  8. 17. Organisms, including plants, algae, and cyanobacteria, that capture solar energy to produce their own food.
  9. 18. The primary energy currency of cells
  10. 19. An essential electron carrier molecule formed in the light-dependent reactions that provides high-energy electrons to power the reduction phase of the Calvin cycle.
  11. 20. The gel-like fluid surrounding thylakoids inside the chloroplast where the Calvin-Benson cycle occurs.
Down
  1. 1. The series of enzymatic reactions in the mitochondria that processes pyruvate derivatives to produce carbon dioxide and electron carriers.
  2. 2. Organisms, such as animals, fungi, and many microorganisms, that cannot synthesize food from light energy and must consume other organisms for energy.
  3. 4. The biochemical process by which organisms break down organic nutrients such as glucose to generate ATP to fuel cellular activities.
  4. 6. The initial step of cellular respiration in which glucose is converted into pyruvate, generating a net gain of ATP and electron carriers without requiring oxygen.
  5. 8. A fundamental bioenergetic process where light energy is converted into chemical energy stored in glucose using carbon dioxide and water.
  6. 11. The process of fermentation
  7. 13. The primary green pigment inside chloroplasts that absorbs red and blue wavelengths of sunlight to excite electrons during photosynthesis.
  8. 14. The energy-releasing metabolic pathway requiring oxygen that completely breaks down glucose to produce 36 to 38 ATP molecules.
