A. KEY CONCEPTS IN DNA GENETIC MATERIAL

DNA, also known as 86. ______________________, is composed of chains of 87. __________________
built on a sugar and phosphate backbone and wrapped around each other in the form of 88._______________.
Guanine and 89. __________________ are complementary, always appearing opposite each other on the helix,
as are adenine and 90. _______________________.

B. KEY CONCEPTS IN PHOTOSYNTHESIS

Plants have green pigments called 91. __________________ stored in the 92. ___________________.
This pigment aids in capturing light energy from the sun that enables plants to change it into chemical energy
stored in foo. This process is called 93. _____________________.
Stomata are found on the lower surface of the leaf that allows the entrance of 94. _______________
needed for photosynthesis. They also serve as exit points for the 95. _______________ produced during the
process.

C. KEY CONCEPTS IN CELLULAR RESPIRATION

Organisms need food as the main source of energy. The food must be digested to simple forms such as
glucose, 96. _________________ and 97. __________________. These are then transported to the cells. The
immediate source of energy is 98.______________________. The glucose inside the cell is broken down to
release the stored energy. This stored energy is harvested in the form of 99.______________________ (ATP).
