Cellular Respiration
Across
- 4. the process by which cells use oxygen to produce energy from food
- 5. a type of protein that speeds up a chemical reaction (catalyst) in a living thing
- 7. respiration that requires oxygen, occurs in mitochondria
- 9. respiration that does not require oxygen, produces lactic acid
- 10. three-carbon compound that forms as an end product of glycolysis
- 11. a type of anaerobic respiration in which glucose is broken down into lactic acid
Down
- 1. first step of cellular respiration - releasing the energy of glucose, in which a molecule of glucose is broken into two molecules of pyruvic acid
- 2. molecules that contain carbon atoms
- 3. second stage of cellular respiration, in which pyruvic acid is broken down into carbon dioxide in a series of energy-extracting reactions
- 6. process by which cells release energy in the absence of oxygen
- 7. a type of anaerobic respiration in which yeast breaks down sugars and releases ethanol as a byproduct
- 8. powerhouse of the cell, organelle that is the site of ATP production
