Across
  1. 3. Fermentation: Type of fermentation that makes alcohol and CO₂, as seen in yeast and some bacteria.
  2. 4. air, oxygen
  3. 7. together
  4. 13. - nutrient material, nourishment
  5. 17. Acid: A 3-carbon molecule formed during glycolysis, important in cellular respiration.
  6. 20. -sis - process, action
  7. 21. Pathway: CAM (Crassulacean Acid Metabolism). An adaptation some plants use to store CO₂ at night for daytime photosynthesis.
  8. 22. Group of pigments and proteins in chloroplasts that capture light energy.
  9. 23. Process where Carbon is taken from the air by green plants, algae, and some bacteria. It makes glucose from sunlight, water, and carbon dioxide.
  10. 24. green pigment found in chloroplasts
  11. 25. light
  12. 26. First part of photosynthesis where light energy becomes chemical energy. This occurs in the thylakoid membranes of chloroplasts.
  13. 28. Tiny openings on leaves that let CO₂ in and O₂ out.
  14. 30. Transport Chain: Series of molecules found in the mitochondria and chloroplasts that move electrons to make energy.
  15. 31. Fixation: Process of converting CO₂ into organic compounds, like in photosynthesis.
  16. 33. a stack of thylakoid membranes in a chloroplast
  17. 34. A molecule that absorbs light, giving color to plants.
  18. 35. Acid Fermentation: Type of fermentation that makes lactic acid, common in muscles.
Down
  1. 1. Processes that happen without oxygen.
  2. 2. Respiration: Process where cells break down food (carbon compounds) to make energy or ATP.
  3. 4. An organism that makes its own food, like plants, through photosynthesis or chemosynthesis
  4. 5. Glycolysis is the first stage of cellular respiration in which glucose is broken down into pyruvic acid and ATP.
  5. 6. Respiration: Respiration that uses oxygen to produce energy
  6. 8. A sac inside chloroplasts where light reactions occur.
  7. 9. Fluid in chloroplasts around the grana (thylakoid stacks), where the Calvin Cycle (light-independent reactions) happens.
  8. 10. An anaerobic process that follows glycolysis, making lactic acid or alcohol.
  9. 11. Acceptor: Molecule in chloroplasts that accepts high-energy electrons.
  10. 12. green
  11. 14. Cycle: Part of photosynthesis where CO₂ is turned into glucose using ATP energy.
  12. 15. Red, orange, or yellow pigments that help in photosynthesis.
  13. 16. Cyclem: Series of reactions in mitochondria that produce energy and CO₂ during aerobic respiration.
  14. 18. - breakdown, destroy
  15. 19. an organism that gets energy by consuming other organisms for its energy and nutrition.
  16. 21. Organelle in plant cells and some algae where photosynthesis takes place.
  17. 27. mouth
  18. 29. an- not, without
  19. 32. self
