Across
- 6. is the physical energy resulting from electromagnetic radiation, usually observed as it radiates from a source into the surrounding environment.
- 8. a green pigment, present in all green plants and in cyanobacteria, responsible for the absorption of light to provide energy for photosynthesis.
- 11. a colorless, odorless gas produced by burning carbon and organic compounds and by respiration.
- 13. an organism that is able to form nutritional organic substances from simple inorganic substances such as carbon dioxide.
- 14. where photosynthesis takes place.
- 15. each surrounded by a pair of guard cells, are microscopic pores in the shoot epidermis of plants.
Down
- 1. the process by which green plants and some other organisms use sunlight to synthesize foods from carbon dioxide and water.
- 2. is a series of chemical reactions that break down glucose to produce ATP, which may be used as energy to power many reactions throughout the body.
- 3. is a chemical element with an atomic number of 8 (it has eight protons in its nucleus). Oxygen forms a chemical compound (O2) of two atoms which is a colorless gas at normal temperatures and pressures
- 4. Blood sugar is the main sugar found in your blood
- 5. an organelle found in large numbers in most cells, in which the biochemical processes of respiration and energy production occur. It has a double membrane, the inner layer being folded inward to form layers (cristae).
- 7. an organism that eats other plants or animals for energy and nutrients
- 9. is a substance that is present at the end of a chemical reaction.
- 10. A substance present in all living cells that provides energy for many metabolic processes and is involved in making RNA.
- 12. a substance that takes part in and undergoes change during a reaction.
- 13. process that involves rearrangement of the molecular or ionic structure of a substance, as opposed to a change in physical form or a nuclear reaction.
