Oxidative Phosphorylation Nation!
Across
- 7. Type of phosphorylation that is not substrate-level but requires a membrane (11 letters)
- 9. Small electron shuttle that is lipid-soluble and diffuses through the inner membrane (8 letters)
- 10. The final electron acceptor in the electron transport chain (6 letters)
- 13. A flavin-containing enzyme in complex II that also plays a role in the citric acid cycle (16 letters)
- 18. First complex in the electron transport chain, accepts electrons from NADH (10 letters)
- 20. Highly reactive oxygen species that can form if electron transport goes awry (4 letters)
- 21. This molecule is the "energy currency" of the cell (3 letters)
Down
- 1. A mobile electron carrier that transfers electrons between complexes III and IV (10 letters)
- 2. Name for the double-membraned organelle where oxidative phosphorylation occurs (12 letters)
- 3. Process where energy from electron transport is used to pump protons across the membrane (14 letters)
- 4. This coenzyme shuttles electrons from complex I and II to complex III (8 letters)
- 5. The enzyme responsible for generating ATP from ADP and inorganic phosphate (10 letters)
- 6. Electrons are transferred between complexes via this kind of reaction (9 letters)
- 8. The gradient of these particles powers ATP synthase (7 letters)
- 9. Another term for the process of oxidative phosphorylation, highlighting ATP production (11 letters)
