Across
  1. 2. Respiration a set of metabolic reactions and processes that take place in the cells of organisms to convert biochemical energy from nutrients into adenosine triphosphate (ATP), and then release waste products.
  2. 6. something "manufactured by an organelle such as the Golgi apparatus
  3. 9. Transport Chain a series of complexes that transfer electrons from electron donors to electron acceptors via redox (both reduction and oxidation occurring simultaneously) reactions, and couples this electron transfer with the transfer of protons (H+ ions) across a membrane
  4. 10. any eukaryotic organism that is not an animal, plant, or fungus
  5. 11. Cycle occurs in the mitochondrial matrix and generates a pool of chemical energy (ATP, NADH, and FADH2) from the oxidation of pyruvate, the end product of glycolysis
  6. 12. the process by which green plants and some other organisms use sunlight to synthesize from carbon dioxide and water
  7. 14. any of several related green pigments found in cyanobacteria and the chloroplasts algae and plants
  8. 15. a simple sugar with the molecular formula C₆H₁₂O₆
  9. 16. Acid Fermentation a metabolic process by which glucose and other six-carbon sugars (also, disaccharides of six-carbon sugars, e.g. sucrose or lactose) are converted into cellular energy and the metabolite lactate
Down
  1. 1. a multibranched polysaccharide of glucose that serves as a form of energy storage in humans, animals, fungi, and bacteria. The polysaccharide structure represents the main storage form of glucose in the body
  2. 3. Respiration a type of respiration that does not use oxygen
  3. 4. the metabolic pathway that converts glucose C₆H₁₂O₆, into pyruvate, CH₃COCOO− + H⁺. The free energy released in this process is used to form the high-energy molecules ATP and NADH
  4. 5. organism that uses sun's energy to make it's own food plants, some bacteria, some protists
  5. 7. a substance that takes part in and undergoes change during a reaction
  6. 8. organism that must utilize another organism for food animals, fungus, some bacteria and some protists
  7. 10. the natural coloring matter of animal or plant tissue
  8. 12. Acid is the simplest of the alpha-keto acids, with a carboxylic acid and a ketone functional group. Pyruvate, the conjugate base, CH₃COCOO−, is a key intermediate in several metabolic pathways
  9. 13. Fermentation a biological process which converts sugars such as glucose, fructose, and sucrose into cellular energy
  10. 17. the energy currency of life that stores the energy we need to do just about everything we do
