Across
  1. 6. cell organelle that converts the chemical energy stored in food into compounds that are easier for the cell to use
  2. 8. a process that does not require oxygen
  3. 10. process that releases energy by breaking down glucose and other food molecules when oxygen is available
  4. 12. first set of reactions in cellular respiration in which a molecule of glucose is broken into two molecules of pyruvic acid
  5. 13. innermost compartment of the mitochondria
Down
  1. 1. process by which cells release energy in the absence of oxygen
  2. 2. second stage of cellular respiration in which pyruvic acid is broken down into carbon dioxide in a series of energy-extracting reactions
  3. 3. what is present before a reaction takes place, before the arrow
  4. 4. electron carrier involved in glycolysis
  5. 5. process used by plants and other autotrophs to capture light energy and convert carbon dioxide and water into energy-rich sugars and oxygen
  6. 7. a process that requires oxygen
  7. 9. measure of heat energy in food
  8. 11. what is present after a reaction takes place, (what the reaction forms) found after the arrow
