Across
- 2. Plants that open their stomata only at night when it is colder to avoid photorespiration.
- 8. Enzyme that bonds carbon dioxide molecules into 3-carbon chains
- 10. Clear fluid inside chloroplast
- 11. Chemical that shuttles electrons in the electron transport chain
- 12. The process whereby plants, algae, and some bacteria form simple sugars from carbon dioxide and water in the presence of light and chlorophyll
- 14. Green pigment in plants and algae
- 15. Opening on the underside of plant leaves
- 16. The anaerobic breakdown of sugars to pyruvate and then to either lactic acid or carbon dioxide and alcohol
- 19. Pigmented sack found inside a chloroplast
- 21. A series of compounds that transfer electrons from electron donor substances to electron acceptors. These chains are an important part in both photosynthesis and cellular respiration
- 22. Plants that use the Calvin cycle to produce three-Carbon precursor of glucose (known as G3P)
Down
- 1. 3-Carbon precursor to glucose made during photosynthesis
- 2. The process by which cells break down glucose or other nutrients to produce usable energy
- 3. Enzyme in the thylakoid membrane that shuttles hydrogen ions into the stroma to store energy
- 4. Describes any chemical process that does NOT require Oxygen
- 5. are plants which cycle carbon dioxide to 4-carbon sugar compounds in order to enter the C3 or the Calvin cycle. These plants are very productive in climatic conditions that are hot and dry and produce a lot of energy.
- 6. The second phase of the aerobic cellular respiration in which pyruvate reacts with enzymes to produce CoA, Carbon Dioxide, Hydrogen ions, ATP, and electrons; also called Kerbs cycle
- 7. 6-Carbon sugar that is a product of photosynthesis
- 9. microscopic openings or pores on the underside of leaves which allows movement of gases in and out of the plant
- 13. the end product of glycolysis, which is converted into acetyl coA that enters the Krebs cycle when there is sufficient oxygen available.
- 17. Describes any chemical process that requires Oxygen
- 18. The first phase of cellular reproduction, in which glucose is broken down into pyruvate
- 20. Stack of thylakoids
