Across
- 2. The cell organelle responsible for photosynthesis. Often referred to as the "kitchen" of the plant cell.
- 3. A simple sugar molecule that is the primary source of energy for cells.
- 7. (adenosine triphosphate) The energy molecule used by cells for various functions. Cellular respiration produces ATP.
- 8. The process by which plants and some other organisms use sunlight, water, and carbon dioxide to produce glucose (sugar) and oxygen.
- 10. The sugar molecule produced by photosynthesis. It is used for energy or stored for later use.
- 14. The energy source that powers photosynthesis.
- 15. (CO₂): A waste product of cellular respiration.
- 16. A specialized structure within a cell that performs a specific function.
- 17. product: A substance produced by a process that is no longer needed by the organism.
Down
- 1. The process by which cells break down glucose (sugar) and release energy for cellular functions. It requires oxygen (aerobic respiration) and produces carbon dioxide and water as waste products.
- 4. The ability to do work.
- 5. A green pigment found in chloroplasts that traps sunlight energy for photosynthesis.
- 6. The cell organelle responsible for cellular respiration. Often referred to as the "powerhouse" of the cell.
- 9. (O₂) A gas required for cellular respiration.
- 11. (H₂O) Another waste product of cellular respiration.
- 12. (H₂O) A raw material used in photosynthesis.
- 13. (O₂): A waste product of photosynthesis. This oxygen is released into the atmosphere and is essential for animal respiration.
