Across
- 2. First of reaction in cellular respiration during which one molecule of glucose (a 6 carbon compound) is transformed in 2 molecules of pyruvic acid ( a 3 carbon compound)
- 4. Process used by plants and other autotrophs to capture light energy and use it to power chemical reactions that convert carbon dioxide and water into oxygen and energy-rich carbohydrate such as sugar and starches.
- 6. Organelle found in cells of plants and some other organisms that captures the energy from sunlight and converts it into chemical energy.
- 9. Process that energy from food in the presence of oxygen.
- 11. Elements or compounds produced by a chemical reaction.
- 13. Set of reaction in photosynthesis that do not require light; energy from ATP and NADPH is used to build high-energy compounds such as sugar; also called the Calvin Cycle.
- 14. elements or compounds that enter into a chemical reaction.
- 15. Are rod-shaped organelles that can be considered the power generators of the cell, converting oxygen and nutrients into adenosine triphosphate (ATP)
Down
- 1. Set of reaction in photosynthesis that use energy from light to produce ATP and NADPH.
- 3. Second stage of cellular respiration in which pyruvic acid is broken down into carbon dioxide in series of energy-extracting reactions.
- 5. The equation for photosynthesis states that the combination of carbon dioxide, water and light energy produces a carbohydrate (glucose) and oxygen.
- 7. Series of electron carrier proteins that shuttle high-energy electrons during ATP-generating reactions.
- 8. Aerobic respiration takes place in the mitochondria and requires oxygen and glucose, and produces carbon dioxide, water, and energy.
- 10. Breakdown of glucose created ATP, creates enough energy to produce three molecules of ATP (HIGH energy).
- 12. When energy get used it creates ADP (is low energy).
