Energy In Living Systems

8. Compound used by cells to store and release energy.
10. Process that changes, or transform one set of chemicals into another set of chemicals.
11. Pigments in a plant that absorb the wavelengths that chlorophyll can't.
14. Organelle found in cells of plants and some other organisms that captures energy from sunlight and converts it into chemical energy.
16. Process by which cells release energy in the absence of oxygen.
17. Organelle that converts the chemical energy stored in food into compounds that are more convenient for the cell to use.
18. An organism that makes its own food and energy.

1. Post-translational modification of proteins.
2. Process that releases energy by breaking down glucose and other food molecules in the presence of oxygen
3. Formed when a phosphate is removed from ATP to release energy.
4. Light absorbing molecule used by plants to gather the sun's energy.
5. Process that doesn't require oxygen.
6. Principal pigment of plants and other photosynthetic organisms.
7. Process where plants take oxygen in the light and give out carbon dioxide (opposite of photosynthesis).
9. The process in which plants use the energy of sunlight to convert water and carbon dioxide into high energy carbohydrates and release oxygen as a waste product.
12. Process that requires oxygen.
13. Elements or compounds produced by a chemical reaction.
15. Elements or compounds that enter into a chemical reaction.
