  1. 4. Cellular process that releases energy using oxygen to produce ATP.
  2. 5. Plant tissue that transports water and dissolved minerals from roots to leaves.
  3. 6. Stage of respiration in the mitochondria that releases carbon dioxide and transfers energy to electron carriers.
  4. 8. Plant tissue that transports sugars produced during photosynthesis.
  5. 12. Small blood vessels that allow exchange of gases, nutrients and wastes with tissues.
  6. 14. Series of reactions in mitochondria that produces most ATP using oxygen.
  7. 16. Energy-releasing process that occurs without oxygen.
  8. 19. Metabolic reactions that break down complex molecules to release energy.
  9. 20. Pores in leaves that regulate gas exchange and water loss.
Down
  1. 1. Process where plants convert light energy into chemical energy stored in glucose.
  2. 2. Simple sugar used as the primary fuel in cellular respiration.
  3. 3. First stage of cellular respiration where glucose is split into pyruvate in the cytoplasm.
  4. 7. Stage of photosynthesis where light energy splits water and produces ATP and oxygen.
  5. 9. Tiny air sacs in the lungs where gas exchange occurs.
  6. 10. Organelle where photosynthesis occurs in plant cells.
  7. 11. Loss of water vapour from plant leaves that helps pull water through the plant.
  8. 13. Energy-carrying molecule that transfers energy from catabolic to anabolic reactions.
  9. 15. Movement of oxygen and carbon dioxide between respiratory surfaces and blood.
  10. 17. Stage of photosynthesis where carbon dioxide is used to produce glucose.
