Across
- 4. Pigment that absorbs sunlight in plants in order to power photosynthesis.
- 6. Organelle inside eukaryotic cells in which cellular respiration occurs ("the energy factories" of the cells).
- 10. Main energy molecule used by cells.
- 13. This is the solar energy source used to power photosynthesis in plants.
- 15. Process cells use to release energy from glucose with the help of oxygen and enzymes (and form ATP energy molecules).
- 16. Gas (product) released during cellular respiration.
Down
- 1. Organelle in plant cells that carries out photosynthesis.
- 2. Final stage of cellular respiration in which most of the ATP energy molecules are made and water is produced (abbreviated "ETC").
- 3. Jelly-like, liquid substance inside cells.
- 5. Process plant cells use to produce glucose and release oxygen.
- 7. Gas (product) released during photosynthesis (but an important reactant during cellular respiration).
- 8. Second stage of cellular respiration occurring in the mitochondria (primarily producing NADH and FADH2 energy carriers).
- 9. Sugar made during photosynthesis (and used for energy production during cellular respiration.
- 11. First step of cellular respiration occurring in the cytoplasm (in which glucose gets split into two).
- 12. Liquid that is a vital reactant in photosynthesis reaction (and a product of cellular respiration).
- 14. One of the main energy-carrying molecules made during cellular respiration to carry hydrogen atoms and electrons to the ETC.
- 16. Basic unit of life.
