Across
- 4. the green pigment of plant cells that is necessary for photosythesis
- 6. the anaerobic breakdown of sugars to pyruvate and then to either lactic acid or carbon dioxide and alcohol
- 7. describes any chemical process that requires oxygen
- 8. a series of compounds that transfer electrons from electron donor substances to electron acceptors
- 11. the portion of photosynthesis that requires light energy
- 12. material within a chloroplast that surrounds the thylakoids
- 13. the portion of photosynthesis that does not require light energy to proceed
- 14. the second phase of aerobic cellular respiration in which pyruvate reacts with enzymes to produce acetly CoA, carbon dioxide, hydrogen ions, ATP, and electrons
Down
- 1. describes any chemical process that does not require oxygen
- 2. the process whereby plants, algae and some bacteria form simple sugars from carbon dioxide and water in the presence of light and chlorophyll
- 3. a membrane-bound compartment within chloroplasts
- 5. the process by which the cells break down glucose or other nutrients to produce usable energy
- 9. the first phase of cellular respiration in which glucose is broken down into pyruvate
- 10. the portion of photosynthesis that uses energy captured during the light-dependent phase to convert carbon dioxide and water into sugars
