Molecular Biology

2. An energy-rich organic compound made of the elements carbon, hydrogen and oxygen
5. The amount of energy required to maintain minimam essential life functions
6. the process that breaks down complex molecules of food into smaller molecules so the body can use them
7. is the molecule that carries energy to the place where the energy is needed in the body
10. Control center of the cell
11. Combined with or having undergone a chemical reaction with oxygen
12. Major storage form of energy
13. The process of producing cellular energy involving energy
16. Makes proteins for the cell
18. An organism that cannot make its own food
19. An organism that makes its own food
22. Found in cells of plants and other organisms that performs photosynthesis
24. The initial stage of photosynthesis which traps light energy to produce ATP
25. Process that releases energy by breaking down glucose and other food molecules in the presence of oxygen

1. The process by which the body breaks down substances and gets energy from food
3. Process by which cells release energy in the substance of oxygen
4. Powerhouse of a cell,organelle that is the site of ATP (energy) production
8. 6CO2+6H2O----> C6H12O6+6O2
9. Source of nourishment
13. The process of producing cellular energy without involving oxygen
14. Required for the structure, function, repair and regulation of the body cells,tissues,and organs
15. The process by which plants and other organisms capture the energy in sunlight and use it to make food
17. Simple sugar that is an important energy source in living organisms;component of many carbohydrates
20. The second step of photosynthesis which utilizes the energy from ATP to produce glucose
21. Energy-rich organic compound,such as fat,oil or wax,that is made of carbon ,hydrogen and oxygen
23. basic unit of life
