Across
- 1. Organelle inside a plant cell only where photosynthesis takes place
- 6. Organism that can capture energy from sunlight or chemicals and use it to produce its own food from inorganic compounds, also called a producer
- 7. An organism that must eat plants or other animals for food
- 8. Short for adenosine triphosphate, it is the energy that is released when the mitochondria breaks down the sugars you have eaten
- 11. Cellular respiration that takes place when there is oxygen
- 14. The first step of cellular respiration where glucose is broken in half and 2 ATP energy units are released
- 15. The second stage of cellular respiration
- 16. The process that takes place inside eukaryotic cells (both plants and animals) that breaks down sugars to produce energy in the form of ATP
Down
- 2. The steps in photosynthesis that occur on the thylakoid membrane of the chloroplast and that convert solar energy to the chemical energy of ATP and NADPH, evolving oxygen in the process
- 3. Cellular respiration that takes place where there is no oxygen
- 4. The small openings on the undersides of most leaves through which oxygen and carbon dioxide can move
- 5. The process by which plants use carbon dioxide + energy from the sun to create sugars and oxygen
- 9. Sugars produced by photosynthesis
- 10. The second of two major stages in photosynthesis, involving atomspheric carbon dioxide fixation and reduction of the fixed carbon into a carbohydrate
- 12. Primary light absorbing pigment in autotrophs
- 13. Organelle inside an animal and plant cell where cellular respiration takes place
