Across
- 4. relating to any organism or process that does not require oxygen
- 6. long, tube-like organ that forms part of the complex network of vessels that run through the body and transport blood to all the body’s cells
- 7. type of cellular respiration that does not require oxygen
- 9. an individual living thing
- 10. relating to any organism or process that requires oxygen
- 11. 3-carbon product of glycolysis; also known as pyruvic acid
- 12. fluid connective tissue that circulates throughout the body through blood vessels
- 13. second stage of cellular respiration in which two pyruvate molecules from the first stage react to form ATP, NADH, and FADH2 in the presence of oxygen
- 15. multicellular, heterotrophic eukaryote with specialized cells that lack cell walls; member of the animal kingdom
- 18. third stage of cellular respiration, which occurs on the inner membrane of mitochondria, requires oxygen, and produces up to 34 molecules of ATP

Down
- 1. first stage of cellular respiration in which glucose is split in the absence of oxygen to form two molecules of pyruvate and a net total of two ATP
- 2. a biochemical process in which cells break down glucose and oxygen to make carbon dioxide, water, and ATP for energy
- 3. top layer of Earth's surface containing weathered rocks, minerals, and organic material
- 5. type of anaerobic respiration that includes glycolysis followed by the conversion of pyruvic acid to one or more other compounds and the formation of NAD+
- 8. type of cellular respiration that requires oxygen
- 12. single-celled prokaryotic organism that is a member of the Bacteria domain
- 14. the ability to do work
- 16. energy-carrying molecule that cells use to power their metabolic processes; provides the cell with an immediate usable form of energy
- 17. mixture of gases that surrounds a planet such as Earth
- 19. exchange of oxygen and carbon dioxide between the body and the outside air
