Across
  1. 6. measure of heat energy in food; equivalent to 1000 calories
  2. 7. fluid portion of the chloroplast; outside of the thylakoids
  3. 8. compound used by cells to store and release energy
  4. 9. respiration process that releases energy from food in the presence of oxygen
  5. 11. process that requires oxygen
  6. 12. organism that is able to capture energy from sunlight or chemicals and use it to produce its own food from inorganic compounds; also called a producer
  7. 13. second stage of cellular respiration in which pyruvic acid is broken down into carbon dioxide in a series of energy-extracting reactions
  8. 14. process by which cells release energy in the absence of oxygen; produces carbon dioxide and alcohol
  9. 16. process used by plants and other autotrophs to capture light energy and use it to power chemical reactions that convert carbon dioxide and water into oxygen and energy-rich carbohydrates such as sugars and starches
  10. 18. light-absorbing molecules used by plants to gather the sun’s energy
  11. 19. organism that obtains food by consuming other living things; also called a consumer
  12. 20. first set of reactions in cellular respiration during which one molecule of glucose (a 6 carbon compound) is transformed into 2 molecules of pyruvic acid (a 3 carbon compound)
Down
  1. 1. saclike photosynthetic membranes found in chloroplasts
  2. 2. set of reactions in photosynthesis that do not require light; energy from ATP and NADPH is used to build high-energy compounds such as sugar; also called the Calvin cycle
  3. 3. cell organelle that converts the chemical energy stored in food into compounds that are more convenient for the cell to use
  4. 4. set of reactions in photosynthesis that use energy from light to produce ATP and NADPH
  5. 5. series of electron carrier proteins that shuttle high-energy electrons during ATP-generating reactions
  6. 8. process that does not require oxygen
  7. 10. process by which cells release energy in the absence of oxygen; produces lactic acid
  8. 15. ability to do work
  9. 17. organelle found in cells of plants and some other organisms that captures the energy from sunlight and converts it into chemical energy
