Across
- 5. carrier, when glucose breaks down into ATP, a large amount of the energy is stored as electron on special molecules (the electron carriers)
- 7. Cycle, takes place in the mitochondrial matrix
- 9. stands for adenosine triphosphate….main type of energy used by living organisms.
- 12. what happens to proteins when heating, stirring, etc. and the protein bonds break apart.
- 13. A simple sugar that circulates in the blood of animals as blood sugar. It is made during photosynthesis from water and carbon dioxide,
- 15. Compounds that speed up chemical reactions
- 16. protein digesting enzymes in pineapple
Down
- 1. Enzymes which have special shapes that fit the shape of a chemical reactant
- 2. Make two words, ‘photo’, which means light, and ‘synthesis’ which means putting together. It is a process where plants grow and eat by sunlight, carbon dioxide (from the air) and water. Plants breathe in carbon dioxide and out oxygen. People breathe in oxygen and out carbon dioxide.
- 3. In plant cells, Chlorophyll: green pigment that absorbs light energy. This is why plants are green. Stomata: openings on the underside of a leaf that lets: carbon dioxide in. And water out.
- 4. energy, Provides a barrier to all chemical reactions
- 6. A process that converts sugar to acids, gases, or alcohol.
- 8. reaction, a process that leads to the transformation of one set of chemical substances to another.
- 10. Acid, An organic compound. In its solid state, it is white and water-soluble. In its liquid state, it is clear.
- 11. Respiration, An energy system that happens in animal cells..chemical process that uses oxygen to convert chemical energy stored in organic molecules into ATP.
- 14. molecules that increase the rate (catalyze) chemical reaction
