Cell Energy Crossword Puzzle

QUESTIONS LIST:

• chloroplast : organelle where photosynthesis takes place
• anaerobic respiration : respiration that does not require oxygen
• light reactions : reactions of photosynthesis that use energy from light to produce atp; 1st step of photosynthesis
• atp : main energy source that cells use for most of their work
• krebs cycle : second stage of cellular respiration; releasing 2 atp
• aerobic respiration : respiration that requires oxygen
• adp : the compound that remains when a phosphate group is removed from atp, releasing energy
• stroma : fluid portion of the chloroplast; outside of the thylakoids
• reactants : a starting material in a chemical reaction
• matrix : the fluid that is inside the inner membrane of a mitochondria
• calvin cycle : reactions of photosynthesis in which energy from atp is used to build high-energy compounds such as glucose; 2nd step of photosynthesis
• products : ending materials in a chemical reaction.
• photosynthesis : conversion of light energy from the sun into chemical energy.
• stomata : the small openings on the undersides of most leaves through which oxygen and carbon dioxide can move
• chlorophyll : green pigment in plants that absorbs light energy used to carry out photosynthesis
• glycolysis : the breakdown of glucose by enzymes, releasing energy
• cristae : "folds" inside the mitochondria where the electron transport chain takes place
• granum : one of the stacks of pigment-containing thylakoids in a plant's chloroplasts
• thylakoid : a flattened membrane sac inside the chloroplast, used to convert light energy into chemical energy.
