Across
- 2. natural coloring matter of animal or plant tissue
- 4. fermentation/a process in which some sugars (as glucose) are converted into alcohol and carbon dioxide by the action of various yeasts, molds, or bacteria on carbohydrate materials
- 5. to, involving, or requiring free oxygen
- 7. decomposition or separation of molecules by the action of light
- 9. to, involving, or requiring an absence of free oxygen
- 10. reaction/chemical reactions that convert carbon dioxide and other compounds into glucose. These reactions occur in the stroma, the fluid-filled area of a chloroplast outside of the thylakoid membranes
- 12. a cofactor used in anabolic reactions, such as lipid and nucleic acid synthesis, which require NADPH as a reducing agent
- 13. breakdown of glucose by enzymes, releasing energy and pyruvic acid
- 14. reaction/The series of biochemical reactions in photosynthesis that require light energy that is captured by light-absorbing pigments (such as chlorophyll) to be converted into chemical energy in the form of ATP and NADPH
- 16. acid fermentation/ a metabolic process by which glucose and other six-carbon sugars (also, disaccharides of six-carbon sugars, e.g. sucrose or lactose) are converted into cellular energy and the metabolite lactate
Down
- 1. green pigment, present in all green plants and in cyanobacteria, responsible for the absorption of light to provide energy for photosynthesis
- 3. process by which green plants and some other organisms use sunlight to synthesize foods from carbon dioxide and water
- 6. acid cycle/another term for Krebs cycle
- 8. respiration/ a set of metabolic reactions and processes that take place in the cells of organisms to convert biochemical energy from nutrients into adenosine triphosphate (ATP), and then release waste products
- 11. cycle/ the set of chemical reactions that take place in chloroplasts during photosynthesis
- 15. triphosphate/a compound consisting of an adenosine molecule bonded to three phosphate groups, present in all living tissue
