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