Across
  1. 1. process that doesn't require oxygen to occur
  2. 5. Converting the energy in sunlight into food
  3. 6. Pyruvic acid is broken down into carbon dioxide in a series of energy-extracting reactions
  4. 8. one of the principal chemical compounds that living things use to store and release energy
  5. 9. a low-energy molecule occurring in all cells from which ATP is formed.
  6. 12. reactions Part of photosynthesis that requires light, produces ATP, and releases oxygen.
  7. 15. series of electron carrier proteins that shuttle high-energy electrons during ATP-generating reactions
  8. 18. To make glucose from carbon dioxide (which cycle)
  9. 19. process in which chemical energy is used to produce carbohydrates
Down
  1. 2. Large protein that uses energy from H+ ions to bind ADP and a phosphate group together to produce ATP
  2. 3. An anaerobic chemical reaction that converts glucose into pyruvate, yielding a small number of ATP.
  3. 4. Part of photosynthesis that does not require light directly, only the products of the light-dependent reactions. Sugar is the product
  4. 7. Process that releases energy by breaking down glucose and other food molecules in the presence of oxygen
  5. 10. A cluster of pigments embedded into a thylakoid membrane.
  6. 11. process that requires oxygen to occur
  7. 13. A flattened membrane sac inside the chloroplast, used to convert light energy into chemical energy.
  8. 14. An anaerobic (without oxygen) cellular process in which organic foods are converted into simpler compounds, and chemical energy (ATP) is produced
  9. 16. Green pigment in plants that absorbs light energy used to carry out photosynthesis
  10. 17. A product of fermentation which causes a burning feeling in muscles
