Across
  1. 3. light independent reactions during phase two of photosynthesis in which energy is stored in organic molecules as glucose
  2. 6. the process of cellular respiration that takes place in the presence of oxygen gas to produce energy from food
  3. 7. the process by which a cell [plants] captures energy in sunlight and uses it to make food
  4. 9. light absorbing molecules used by plants to gather the suns energy
  5. 11. enzyme present in plant chloroplasts involved in fixing atmospheric carbon dioxide during photosynthesis; catalyzes the first step in the calvin cycle
  6. 12. a thick fluid that fills the inside of a chloroplast; where the calvin cycle takes place
  7. 14. high energy chemical compound used in the body to transfer energy from nutrients to various life processes; energy currency of the body
  8. 15. reaction in which light energy breaks down a water molecule during photosynthesis releasing electrons, hydrogen ions, and molecular oxygen
  9. 17. respiration that occurs in certain fungi and bacteria and in human muscle cells during strenuous activity that provides ATP under lack of oxygen
  10. 21. the chemical reaction in the body's cells that change food into energy; all of the chemical reactions that occur within an organism
Down
  1. 1. green pigment present in all green plants and responsible for the absorption of light to provide energy for photosynthesis
  2. 2. the break down of glucose by enzymes, releasing energy
  3. 4. a metabolic process that requires oxygen
  4. 5. process that does not require oxygen
  5. 8. study of the flow and transformation of energy in the universe
  6. 10. the cellular process of making ATP without oxygen; the breaking down of sugar molecules into simpler compounds to produce substances that can be used in making chemical energy
  7. 13. the process by which the cell derives energy from glucose; the process by which plants and animals break down organic molecules to release energy for use by the cell
  8. 16. the sequence of reactions by which most living cells generate energy during the process of aerobic respiration; it takes place in the mitochondria, consuming oxygen, producing carbon dioxide and water as waste products
  9. 18. the ability to do work; energy cannot be created or destroyed only transformed
  10. 19. in chloroplasts, one of the stacked, flattened, pigment containing membranes in which light dependent reactions occur
  11. 20. one of the pigment containing thylakoids in a plants chloroplast
