cellular respiration
Across
- 1. A substance made from sugars in milk, by the action of certain enzymes
- 3. process by which cells release energy in the absence of oxygen
- 5. plays a central role in sugar metabolism
- 7. an organic molecule that binds to the active sites of certain enzymes to assist in the catalysis of a reaction
- 9. process that requires oxygen
- 11. the process by which plants and some other organisms use sunlight to synthesize foods from carbon dioxide and water
- 12. process that does not require oxygen
- 14. intermost compartment of the mitochondria
- 15. first set of reactions in cellular respiration during which a molecule of glucose is broken into 2 molecules of pyruvic acid
- 16. acts as an energy carrier, transferring electrons from one reaction to another
Down
- 2. amount of energy needed to raise the temperature 1 gram of water 1 degree Celsius
- 4. Universal electron carrier
- 6. process that releases energy by breaking down glucose and other food molecules in the presence of oxygen
- 8. an incidental or secondary product made in the manufacture or synthesis of something else
- 10. second stage of cellular respiration in which pyruvic acid is broken down into carbon dioxide in a series of energy-extracting reactions
- 13. electron carrier involved in glycolysis
