Across
- 6. The process in which living cells break down glucose to release usable energy. It is closely related to photosynthesis because it uses the food plants produce.
- 8. The tiny pores on leaves that allow gases to move in and out during photosynthesis.
- 9. The simple sugar produced by plants that provides energy for growth and cellular activities.
- 10. The process in which plants convert light energy into chemical energy by making their own food.
Down
- 1. The process by which water moves from the roots to the leaves and eventually escapes as water vapor through the stomata.
- 2. The gas released into the atmosphere as a by-product of photosynthesis and needed by most living organisms for respiration.
- 3. The green pigment responsible for trapping light energy needed to start photosynthesis.
- 4. The raw material absorbed by the roots that provides hydrogen and electrons for making food.
- 5. The primary source of energy that drives the process of photosynthesis.
- 7. The raw material absorbed from the atmosphere that supplies the carbon used to make glucose.
