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