Cellular Energy

6. the formation/production of chemical compounds by a reaction from simpler materials.
7. the process of changing energy from one form to another.
9. the breakdown of sugar molecules to produce energy without the presence of oxygen.
10. the production of a more complex chemical compound by combining two or more simpler chemicals.
12. the substance that the enzyme reacts upon.
14. organelle found within the cell of plants and other photosynthetic eukaryotes that is filled with green pigment.
15. organelle in which respiration and energy productions occur.
17. the breaking down of sugar molecules into simpler compounds to produce substances that can be used in making chemical energy.

1. one of the major groups of biomolecules; they are energy-rich organic compounds.
2. the production of glucose and oxygen using carbon dioxide, water, and sunlight.
3. the process of generating energy in the presence of oxygen.
4. a biomolecule (can be either protein or RNA) that acts as a catalyst to speed up specific chemical reactions.
5. the green pigment found in plants.
8. breaks down glucose and oxygen to from carbon dioxide and energy in the form of ATP.
11. a substance capable of initiating or speeding up a chemical reaction.
13. the minimum amount of energy which the reactants must possesses in order to undergo a specified reaction.
16. a process in which a molecular structure changes from its original state.
