Down
- 1. a process that plants and some other organisms use to convert light energy into chemical energy that, through cellular respiration
- 2. process that requires oxygen
- 5. molecule that can accept and donate electrons, NADP+
- 8. the amount of energy needed to raise the temperature of 1 gram of water 1 degree Celsius
