Across
- 3. the cycle of chemical reactions where the carbon from the carbon cycle is fixed into sugars.
- 4. an organism that can produce its own food using light, water, carbon dioxide, or other chemicals.
- 7. is the green pigment found in the chloroplasts of higher plants and in the cells of photosynthetic microorganisms
- 8. plant cell organelles that convert light energy into relatively stable chemical energy via the photosynthetic process.
- 10. the first stage of photosynthesis process in which solar energy is converted into chemical energy in the form of ATP and NADPH.
- 11. the main type of sugar in the blood and is the major source of energy for the body's cells.
Down
- 1. It occurs naturally in the body and plays a role in generating energy.
- 2. a series of reactions that extract energy from glucose by splitting it into two three-carbon molecules called pyruvates.
- 5. the process by which plants use sunlight, water, and carbon dioxide to create oxygen and energy in the form of sugar.
- 6. interconnected disc-like sacs of the internal membrane system of the chloroplast.
- 9. the source of energy for use and storage at the cellular level.
