Across
- 2. Material within a chloroplast that surrounds the thylakoids
- 4. phase-That portion of photosynthesis hat requires light energy
- 6. describes any chemical process that requires oxygen
- 9. The green pigment of plant cells that is necessary for photosynthesis
- 10. Describes any chemical process that does not require oxygen
- 11. respiration- The process by which ells break down glucose or other nutrients to produce usable energy
- 12. process whereby plants, algae, and some bacteria form simple sugars from carbon dioxide and water in the presence of light and chlorophyll
- 13. acid cycle- The second phase of aerobic cellular respiration in which pyruvate reacts with enzymes to produce acetyl CoA, carbon dioxide, hydrogen ions, ATP, and electrons; also called the Krebs cycle.
Down
- 1. The anaerobic breakdown of sugars to pyruvate and then to either latic acid or carbon dioxide and alcohol
- 3. phase- That portion of photosynthesis that does not require light energy in order to proceed. The light-independent phase, does, however require the products of the light-dependent phase, meaning that neither phase occurs during darkness.
- 5. cycle- The portion of photosynthesis that uses energy capture during the light-dependent phase to convert carbon dioxide and water into sugars; also known as the light-independent phase
- 7. The first phaseof cellular respiration, in which glucose is broken down into pyruvate
- 8. transport chain- A series of compounds that transfer electrons from electron donor substances to electron acceptors. These chains are an important part of both photosynthesis and cellular respiration
