Across
- 2. adenosine triphosphate
- 4. relating to, involving, or requiring an absence of free oxygen
- 7. an organism, typically a bacterium, that derives energy from the oxidation of inorganic compounds
- 8. The green pigment found in the chloroplasts
- 10. the breakdown of glucose by enzymes, releasing energy and pyruvic acid
- 12. These processes convert biochemical energy from nutrients into adenosine triphosphate (ATP), which is used to fuel cellular activity
- 13. the sequence of reactions by which most living cells generate energy during the process of aerobic respiration. It takes place in the mitochondria, consuming oxygen, producing carbon dioxide and water as waste products, and converting ADP to energy-rich ATP
- 14. The connective supportive framework of a biological cell, tissue, or organ.
- 15. an organism that is able to form nutritional organic substances from simple inorganic substances such as carbon dioxide. Compare with heterotroph
- 16. An intermediate product of carbohydrate metabolism derived chiefly from muscle cells and red blood cells.
Down
- 1. a plastid that contains chlorophyll and in which photosynthesis takes place.
- 3. 1.the process by which green plants and some other organisms use sunlight to synthesize foods from carbon dioxide and water. Photosynthesis in plants generally involves the green pigment chlorophyll and generates oxygen as a byproduct.
- 4. Of, pertaining to, having, or requiring the presence of air or free oxygen.
- 5. adenosine diphosphate
- 6. 1.a series of reactions that take place in photosynthesis by which carbon dioxide is converted to glucose
- 9. 1.an organism deriving its nutritional requirements from complex organic substances. Compare with autotroph.
- 11. powerhouse of the cell since they act as the site for the production of high-energy compounds
- 17. a flattened sac or vesicle lined with a pigmented membrane that is the site of photosynthesis
