Across
- 3. The initial substances that are consumed during a chemical reaction, such as carbon dioxide and water in photosynthesis.
- 9. Tiny pores on the surface of a leaf through which gases like carbon dioxide and oxygen enter and exit.
- 10. A gaseous byproduct of photosynthesis that is released into the atmosphere and essential for animal life.
- 11. A simple sugar molecule that is the main product of photosynthesis and a primary energy source for cells.
- 12. What plants and animals need to do, which is dependent on the products and processes of photosynthesis and cellular respiration.
- 13. Organelle where photosynthesis takes place.
- 15. A series of actions or steps taken in order to achieve a particular end, such as photosynthesis.
- 16. The capacity to do work, which is converted from light to chemical form during photosynthesis.
Down
- 1. The new substances that are formed as a result of a chemical reaction, such as glucose and oxygen.
- 2. A gas from the atmosphere that enters the leaf through small pores and is used as a key reactant in photosynthesis.
- 4. A specialized structure within a cell that performs a specific function, like a chloroplast.
- 5. A compound absorbed by plant roots and needed as a key input for photosynthesis.
- 6. The green pigment found in plants that absorbs light energy for photosynthesis.
- 7. The primary source of energy that drives the process of photosynthesis.
- 8. The form of energy stored within the bonds of glucose molecules, which is released during cellular respiration.
- 14. The process by which plants use sunlight, water, and carbon dioxide to create their own food.
