Vocab for Chapter 10
Across
- 3. process that does not require oxygen
- 5. first set of reactions in cellular respiration during which a molecule of glucose is broken into 2 molecules of pyruvic acid
- 7. second stage of cellular respiration in which pyruvic acid is broken down into carbon dioxide in a series of energy extracted reactions
- 8. a chemical byproduct of anaerobic respiration — the process by which cells produce energy without oxygen around
- 9. a 3-carbon acid that in carbohydrate metabolism is an important intermediate product formed especially during glycolysis.
