Across
  1. 2. the first stage of photosynthesis that requires light to happen
  2. 5. when pyruvic acid reacts with coenzyme A it forms acetyl CoA
  3. 9. when there is oxygen in the cells environment, pyruvic acid is broken down and NAPH is used to make a large amount of ATP
  4. 12. an enzyme converts pyruvic acid made during glycolysis into lactic acid
  5. 16. a process that converts light energy from the sun into chemical energy
  6. 17. animals and other organisms that get energy from food instead of directly from sunlight or inorganic substances
  7. 18. needed for both the aerobic and anaerobic pathways of cellular respiration that follow glycolysis
  8. 20. a system of flattened, membranous sacs found in the chloroplast
Down
  1. 1. the space inside the inner membrane of a mitochondrion
  2. 3. the anaerobic breakdown of glucose to pyruvic acid
  3. 4. organic compounds formed using CO2 and the chemical energy stored in ATP and NADPH
  4. 6. a process that does not require the presence of oxygen
  5. 7. the breakdown of carbohydrates by enzymes, bacteria, yeasts, or mold in the absence of oxygen
  6. 8. a green pigment that reacts with sunlight to form carbohydrates
  7. 10. molecules that transfer electrons from one molecule to the next
  8. 11. a process that converts pyruvic acid into ethyl alcohol
  9. 13. the complex process where cells make ATP by breaking down organic compounds
  10. 14. one of the many openings in a leaf or a stem of a plant that enable gas exchange
  11. 15. a biochemical pathway that breaks down acetyl CoA
  12. 19. a stack of thylakoids
