Across
  1. 3. a biochemical pathway in which one six-carbon molecule of glucose is oxidized to produce two three-carbon molecules of pyruvic acid
  2. 8. does not require oxygen in order to take place
  3. 9. the gain of electrons
  4. 10. an organism that is able to form nutritional organic substances from simple inorganic substances such as carbon dioxide
  5. 11. pyruvic acid is converted into ethyl alcohol
  6. 15. pyruvic acid is converted into lactic acid
  7. 17. the sequence of reactions by which most living cells generate energy during the process of aerobic respiration. It takes place in the mitochondria, consuming oxygen, producing carbon dioxide and water as waste products, and converting ADP to energy-rich ATP
  8. 18. also known as the krebs cycle
  9. 19. pyruvic acid is broken down and NADH is used to make lots of ATP; requires oxygen
Down
  1. 1. the process in which cells make ATP by breaking down organic molecules
  2. 2. Occurs on the inner membrane of the mitochondria. All of the electrons (H) from glucose travel to the inner membrane of the mitochondria
  3. 4. the process in which autotrophs convert light energy into chemical energy
  4. 5. how quickly metabolism occurs;affects how much food an organism needs in order to survive
  5. 6. an organism deriving its nutritional requirements from complex organic substances
  6. 7. one reactant loses an electron and the other gains an electron
  7. 12. glucose is split into this molecule during glycolysis
  8. 13. the loss of electrons
  9. 14. the space inside the inner and outer membranes of a mitochondrion;contains enzymes to catalyze the reactions of the Krebs Cycle
  10. 16. the breakdown of pyruvic acid by enzymes, bacteria, yeasts, or mold in the absence of oxygen
  11. 20. the "waste" from the Krebs Cycle
