Across
- 1. Part of photosynthesis where CO2 is turned into glucose using ATP energy
- 6. Type of fermentation that makes alcohol and CO2, as seen in yeast and some bacteria
- 7. Tiny openings on leaves that let CO2 out and O2 in
- 8. red, orange, or yellow pigments that help in photosynthesis
- 9. Series of reactions in mitochondria that produce energy and CO2 during aerobic respiration
- 10. An organism that consumes other organisms for energy
- 11. Process where carbon is taken from the air by green plants, algae, and some bacteria. It makes glucose from sunlight, water, and carbon dioxide
- 13. Process of converting CO2 into organic compounds, like in photosynthesis
- 14. Is the first stage of cellular respiration in which glucose is broken down into pyruvic acid and ATP
- 15. First part of photosynthesis where light energy becomes chemical energy. This occurs in the thylakoid membranes of chloroplasts
- 19. A 3-carbon molecule formed during glycolysis, important in cellular respiration
- 20. Fluid in chloroplasts around the grana (thylakoid stacks), where the Calvin Cycle (light-independent reactions) happens
- 21. Respiration that uses oxygen to produce energy
- 24. Type of fermentation that makes lactic acid, common in muscle
- 25. Series of molecules found in the mitochondria and chloroplast that move electrons to make energy.
Down
- 2. Process where cells break down food (carbon compounds) to make energy or ATP
- 3. Molecule in chloroplasts that accepts high-energy electrons
- 4. An anaerobic process that follows glycolysis, making lactic acid or alcohol
- 5. green pigment found in chloroplasts
- 8. Organelle in plant cells and some algae where photosynthesis takes place
- 12. Processes that happen without oxygen
- 16. A sac inside chloroplasts where light reactions occur
- 17. An organism that makes its own food
- 18. Group of pigments and proteins that capture light energy
- 22. a stack of thylakoid membranes in a chloroplast
- 23. A molecule that absorbs light, giving color to plants
