Across
- 2. the main type of sugar in the blood and is the major source of energy for the body's cells
- 7. The chemical process that generates most of the energy in the cell, supplying molecules needed to make the metabolic reactions (see metabolism) of an organism run
- 8. A spherical or elongated organelle in the cytoplasm of nearly all eukaryotic cells, containing genetic material and many enzymes important for cell metabolism, including those responsible for the conversion of food to usable energy
- 9. work to convert light energy of the Sun into sugars that can be used by cells
- 10. the fluid-filled space that is surrounding the grana, and is also involved in the synthesis of organic molecules from water and carbon dioxide
- 15. chemical reactions that convert carbon dioxide and other compounds into glucose
- 17. the output of the breakdown of glucose known as glycolysis, and (in aerobic organisms) the main input for the citric acid cycle.
- 19. an anaerobic process in which energy can be released from glucose even though oxygen is not available
- 20. organisms that can survive both with and without oxygen.
- 21. enzyme that creates the energy storage molecule adenosine triphosphate (ATP).
- 23. An organic compound that is composed of adenosine and two phosphate groups
- 24. An organism that makes its own food
Down
- 1. is any of several related green pigments
- 3. is the set of chemical reactions that take place in chloroplasts during photosynthesis
- 4. group of compounds that pass electron from one to another via redox reactions coupled with the transfer of proton across a membrane to create a proton gradient that drives ATP synthesis
- 5. a sequence of reactions in the living organism in which oxidation of acetic acid or acetyl equivalent provides energy for storage in phosphate bonds (as in ATP) — called also citric acid cycle, tricarboxylic acid cycle.
- 6. breaks down glucose and forms pyruvate with the production of two molecules of ATP.
- 11. have access to oxygen, but when they are in environments without oxygen, they switch to anaerobic respiration or fermentation
- 12. the energy storage molecule ATP and the reduced electron carrier NADPH
- 13. a process used by plants and other organisms to convert light energy into chemical energy that can later be released to fuel the organisms' activities
- 14. cannot make its own food
- 16. each of a number of flattened sacs inside a chloroplast, bounded by pigmented membranes on which the light reactions of photosynthesis take place, and arranged in stacks or grana
- 18. is a high-energy molecule found in every cell.
- 22. is known as the thylakoid membrane
