Across
  1. 2. the first step of cellular respiration where glucose is broken in half and 2 ATP energy units are released
  2. 6. an organelle inside a plant cell only where photosynthesis takes place
  3. 7. what forms when there is a lack of oxygen present during cellular respiration
  4. 9. primary light absorbing pigment in autotrophs
  5. 11. the steps in photosynthesis that occur on the thylakiod membranes of the chloroplast and that convert solar energy to the chemical of ATP and NADPH, evolving oxygen in the process
  6. 12. the process by which plants use carbon dioxide + energy from the sun to create sugars and oxygen
  7. 14. cellular respiration that takes place where there is NO oxygen
  8. 16. where glycolysis takes place in the mitochondria
  9. 17. where the light dependent reaction of photosynthesis takes place
Down
  1. 1. organism that can capture energy from sunlight or chemicals and use it to produce its own food from inorganic compounds; also called a producer
  2. 2. sugars produced by photosynthesis
  3. 3. short for Adenosine Triphosphate. It is the energy that is released when the mitochondria breaks down the sugars you have eaten
  4. 4. produces 34 ATP energy units for each sugar molecule broken up
  5. 5. the second of two major stages in photosynthesis, where the sun is not needed
  6. 8. cellular respiration that takes place when there is oxygen
  7. 10. the process of gaining energy without oxygen
  8. 13. an organism that must eat plants or other animals for food
  9. 15. the process that takes place inside all eukaryotic cells (both plants and animals) that breaks down sugars to produce energy in the form of ATP
