  10. 16. a simple sugar made by photosynthesis with the molecular formula of C6H12O6
  11. 18. the processes of photosynthesis and cellular respiration use the same components, just in a reversed order, so they are said to be exact ____________ of each other
  12. 20. an additional layer in plant cells that provide strength and rigidity
  13. 23. holes in leaves that allow for gas exchange
  14. 24. when a concentration of particles within a solution is low
  15. 30. when a concentration of particles within a solution in equal both inside and outside of the cell/solution
