Across
- 1. Process that releases energy by breaking down glucose and other food molecules in the presence of oxygen
- 5. Macromolecule containing carbon, hydrogen, oxygen, nitrogen, and phosphorus. DNA and RNA are examples.
- 6. Opening in the underside of a leaf that allow carbon dioxide and oxygen to diffuse in and out of the leaf
- 10. Thin, flexible barrier around a cell. Regulates what enters and leaves the cell.
- 11. One of the principal chemical compounds that living things use to store and release energy.
- 14. Change over time.
- 15. Process by which cells release energy in the absence of oxygen
- 16. Carbon dioxide and water yields glucose and oxygen
- 19. CO2 + H2O —> C6H12O6 + O2
- 22. Double-layered sheet that forms the core of nearly all cell membranes
- 24. Macromolecule made up of carbon and hydrogen. Fats, oils, and waxes.
- 25. Process by which organisms maintain a stable internal environment.
- 28. A series of proteins by which high-energy electrons from the krebs cycle are used to convert ADP into ATP

- 31. Saclike photosynthetic membranes found in chloroplasts
- 32. Organisms that can capture energy from sunlight or chemicals and use it to produce its own food from inorganic compounds.
- 33. When comparing two solutions, the solution with the greater concentration.
Down
- 2. Produced in the muscle tissues during strenuous exercise.
- 3. When the concentrations of two substances are the same.
- 4. When comparing two solutions, the solution with the weaker concentration.
- 7. Second stage of cellular respiration. Pyruvic acid is broken down into carbon dioxide.
- 8. Organic acid which occurs as an intermediate in many metabolic processes, especially glycolysis.
