Across
- 4. The energy an object possesses because of its motion; the faster something moves, the more of this type of energy it has
- 6. Known as the powerhouse of the cell, this organelle produces most of the cell’s ATP
- 8. This small molecule is known as the "energy currency" of the cell
- 9. The substance that makes up all things, taking up space and having mass
- 11. Specialized parts of a cell that carry out specific functions
- 12. A gas released during cellular respiration and used in photosynthesis
- 14. Bonds that form when one atom gives up an electron to another atom
- 16. A series of reactions in photosynthesis that uses carbon dioxide to make glucose, occurring in the stroma
- 17. A unit of energy, defined by its ability to heat a specific amount of water
- 20. This type of energy is stored and has the ability to do work when needed
- 22. The process where plants use sunlight to make glucose and release oxygen
Down
- 1. Membrane-bound sacs inside chloroplasts where the light reactions of photosynthesis occur
- 2. The fluid-filled space inside chloroplasts where the Calvin cycle happens
- 3. The green pigment in plants that captures sunlight for photosynthesis
- 5. The part of photosynthesis that uses sunlight to produce oxygen, ATP, and NADPH, occurring in the thylakoids
- 7. A gas that is needed for cellular respiration and is produced during photosynthesis
- 10. A process in mitochondria that breaks down glucose with oxygen to release energy
- 13. The process of converting one type of energy into another, like chemical to mechanical
- 15. Small particles made up of two or more atoms bonded together, which form the basic building blocks of matter
- 16. Energy stored in the bonds of molecules
- 17. The organelle in plant cells that contains pigments to help convert sunlight into energy
- 18. A liquid essential for the survival of all living organisms
- 19. A simple sugar that is a primary energy source for most organisms
- 21. Bonds formed when atoms share electrons to stay stable
