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