Across
- 3. Simple sugar that is the main fuel for respiration
- 6. synthesis Building proteins from amino acids in cells
- 8. Increase in size or number of cells
- 9. Process that releases energy from glucose in cells
- 13. Structural change that makes an enzyme lose its function
- 14. division Process that produces new cells (e.g., mitosis)
- 16. Organelles where most aerobic respiration occurs
- 18. Organ that processes lactic acid and regulates blood glucose
- 20. Microscopic organism such as bacteria or yeast
Down
- 1. Basic units of life where respiration happens
- 2. Single‑celled fungus used in fermentation
- 4. dioxide Waste gas of respiration exhaled by organisms
- 5. Catabolic process that provides substrates for respiration
- 7. Substance that provides nourishment (e.g., glucose)
- 10. Biological catalyst that speeds up reactions
- 11. Type of respiration without oxygen; less ATP produced
- 12. Type of respiration that uses oxygen and yields more ATP
- 15. acid Product of anaerobic respiration in muscles
- 16. contraction Shortening of muscle fibers powered by ATP
- 17. Debt Extra oxygen needed after exercise to remove lactic acid
- 19. Alcohol produced by yeast during anaerobic respiration
