Across
- 5. a central metabolic pathway in cellular respiration that oxidizes acetyl CoA
- 7. the vital biochemical process where cells break down glucose (food) and oxygen to create usable energy (ATP), carbon dioxide, and water
- 9. -a highly folded phospholipid bilayer that separates the mitochondrial matrix from the intermembrane space
- 14. - a crucial metabolic molecule linking nutrient breakdown (from carbs, fats, proteins) to energy production (Krebs Cycle) and biosynthesis (fats, cholesterol, neurotransmitters)
- 15. with out oxygen
- 17. Alcoholic fermentation is an anaerobic (no oxygen needed) biological process where microorganisms
Down
- 1. an anaerobic (oxygen-free) metabolic process where sugars (like glucose) are converted into cellular energy (ATP) and the byproduct lactic acid
- 2. relating to, involving, or requiring free oxygen
- 3. the final stage of cellular respiration
- 4. a crucial four-carbon molecule in cell metabolism, acting as a key intermediate in the Citric Acid Cycle (Krebs cycle) for energy (ATP) production
- 6. the supportive substance surrounding cells or structures
- 8. - Adenosine Triphosphate
- 10. - Chemiosmosis is the process where ions move across a semipermeable membrane
- 11. a fundamental metabolic process in the cell's cytoplasm that breaks down one glucose molecule into two pyruvate molecules
- 12. a crucial three carbon molecule and the end product of glycolysis
- 13. the narrow region between two membranes
