Across
- 3. Diffusion of water across a selectively permeable membrane is known as ______.
- 4. The _____ binds to the active site on an enzyme (hint: it’s the name given to the reactants in an enzyme-catalyzed reaction)
- 5. During the Calvin cycle or light-independent reactions in photosynthesis, this molecule is converted to glucose using the energy in ATP and NADPH (2 words)
- 8. Simple diffusion is a type of _____transport that requires no energy.
- 9. This process takes energy from the sun and makes chemical energy in the form of glucose (hint: only happens in plants)
- 10. This process breaks down glucose in order to harvest energy from it. The cell uses this energy to do work (2 words).
- 13. All plasma membranes are comprised of _____(plural), which form a bilayer (one layer on top, one on bottom).
- 14. Stored energy is ______energy. For example, the energy stored inside chemical bonds.
- 16. Many anaerobic organisms that do not breathe oxygen undergo ______, a process that breaks down glucose to get some energy, but is not as efficient as cellular respiration.
- 17. The abbreviation for the final pathway in cellular respiration that produces the most ATP
- 18. An _______solution is a type of solution where the concentration of solute and water is the same as that within a cell. Placing a cell in this type of solution will not affect the cell’s shape.
- 19. A molecule that binds to an enzyme and increases its activity. Examples include vitamins and minerals.
Down
- 1. The opposite process of endocytosis, where material leaves the cell.
- 2. This is the main pigment that absorbs sunlight in photosynthesis
- 6. Enzymes are able to speed up the rate of a chemical reaction because they lower the amount of energy needed to start the reaction, also known as the reaction’s _______ (2 words)
- 7. The membrane protein that is used in cellular respiration and photosynthesis to synthesize ATP (2 words)
- 11. ______diffusion is a type of diffusion that requires a membrane protein to transport a substance from one side of a plasma membrane to the other side. This type of transport requires no energy.
- 12. The light reactions in photosynthesis take place in the thylakoid membranes of a chloroplast, while the light-independent reactions take place in the ______, or fluid, of the chloroplast.
- 15. In an ______ reaction, energy is consumed (ball rolling uphill)
- 19. The abbreviation for an energy-carrying molecule that, when split apart, provides a lot of energy for our cells to do work. Hint: this molecule is created during cellular respiration
