Across
- 2. Molecules such as FADH2 and NADH that carry electrons from one part of a chemical process to another
- 4. The folds of the inner membrane of a mitochondrion
- 7. The process by which plants transfer the energy of sunlight, along with carbon dioxide and water, into glucose
- 9. A type of respiration that does not use oxygen. It is used when there is not enough oxygen for aerobic respiration or oxygen is not needed; this pathway also called fermentation
- 10. Reactions which break down complex molecules into simpler ones and release energy
- 11. The first reactions in photosynthesis; The main purpose is to use sunlight and water to generate electron carriers and some ATP
Down
- 1. The process by which plants and animals break down glucose into a form of energy that cells can use directly to fuel their various needs, ATP
- 3. The final reactions of photosynthesis which do not require direct sunlight; they use the products of the first stage and carbon dioxide to produce glucose; also known as the Calvin Cycle
- 5. The gel-like material between the outer membrane and inner membrane of the mitochondria
- 6. The process by which chemicals, rather than sunlight, are the primary source of energy
- 8. Reactions which link simple molecules together to make complex ones; energy storing reactions
