AP bio: Cellular Metabolism (Chapter 6) Wordle

I chose to make cellular respiration and photosynthesis the biggest words because they are the metabolic processes that were discussed.  I made the redox reactions the next biggest because it describes how cellular respiration and photosynthesis involve transferring electrons from a reactant to another.  It is followed by the different parts of the cellular respiration: glycolysis, Krebs cycle, and the electron transport chain (ETC); and the different parts of photosynthesis: light dependent reaction and Calvin cycle/dark cycle/light independent reactions.  I also included main structures that are involved in these reactions, such as chlorophyll and photosystem.  Some processes that drive cellular respiration and photosynthesis is oxidative phophorylation, chemiosmosis, noncycle photophosphorylation, and cyclic photophosphorylation.  For cellular respiration, depending on whether it is anaerobic or aerobic process (whether there is oxygen or not), there are alternative pathways to release energy, such as alcohol fermentation or lactic acid fermentation.
