Across
- 3. the biochemical processes of respiration and energy production occur
- 7. simple sugar C₆H₁₂O₆
- 8. Adenosine triphosphate (energy)
- 11. use light energy to make two molecules the energy storage molecule ATP and the reduced electron carrier NADPH
- 12. a plastid that contains chlorophyll and in which photosynthesis takes place.
- 15. the process of oxidizing food molecules, like glucose, to carbon dioxide and water
- 17. the colorless fluid surrounding the grana within the chloroplast.
- 19. a series of enzyme-mediated reactions where the product of one reaction is used as the substrate in the next.
- 21. a metabolic process by which glucose and other six-carbon sugars are converted into cellular energy and metabolite lactate
- 22. O2
Down
- 1. the sequence of reactions by which most living cells generate energy during the process of aerobic respiration
- 2. a metabolic process that produces chemical changes in organic substrates through the action of enzymes
- 4. The reactions of the Calvin cycle add carbon to a simple five-carbon molecule called RuBP. These reactions use chemical energy from NADPH and ATP. The final product is glucose
- 5. Dioxide C02
- 6. a chemical compound, a simple alcohol with the chemical formula C ₂H ₆O.
- 9. a series of electron transporters that shuttle electrons from NADH to molecular oxygen
- 10. organisms use sunlight to synthesize food from carbon dioxide and water
- 13. H20
- 14. the breakdown of glucose by enzymes, releasing energy and pyruvic acid.
- 16. produces energy and uses glucose, but it produces less energy and does not require oxygen
- 18. the process of producing cellular energy involving oxygen
- 20. each of a number of flattened sacs inside a chloroplast, bounded by pigmented membranes on which the light reactions of photosynthesis take place, and arranged in stacks or grana.
