Genetics

2. The green pigment in chloroplasts that captures sunlight for photosynthesis.
5. A gas released during photosynthesis and required for cellular respiration.
6. An organism that obtains energy by consuming other organisms.
8. The organelle in cells where cellular respiration takes place, producing ATP.
12. A simple sugar (C6H12O6) that serves as the primary energy source for cellular activities.
14. Respiration The process by which cells break down glucose and oxygen to produce energy (ATP), carbon dioxide, and water.
15. The process by which plants, algae, and some bacteria convert light energy, water, and carbon dioxide into glucose and oxygen.
16. Respiration A type of cellular respiration that does not require oxygen, resulting in less energy production.
18. Energy Energy from the sun, which is converted into chemical energy during photosynthesis.
19. Dioxide A gas used by plants during photosynthesis and produced as a waste product during cellular respiration.
20. The sum of all chemical reactions in an organism, including energy conversion processes.

1. Tiny openings on the surface of leaves that allow gas exchange (CO2 in, O2 out).
3. The substances (e.g., glucose and oxygen) formed during a chemical reaction like photosynthesis.
4. The organelle in plant cells where photosynthesis occurs.
7. An organism that can produce its own food through photosynthesis.
9. Respiration A type of cellular respiration that requires oxygen to produce energy.
10. The substances (e.g., carbon dioxide and water) used in a chemical reaction like photosynthesis.
11. (Adenosine Triphosphate) The molecule that stores and provides energy for cellular processes.
13. Energy Energy stored in the bonds of molecules like glucose.
17. Conversion The process of changing one form of energy (e.g., light energy) into another form (e.g., chemical energy).
