- 3. relating to chemistry, or the interactions of substances as studied in chemistry.
- 7. the action of breathing.
- 9. relating to or denoting exercise that does not improve the efficiency of the body's cardiovascular system in absorbing and transporting oxygen.
- 10. the process by which green plants and some other organisms use sunlight to synthesize foods from carbon dioxide and water. Photosynthesis in plants generally involves the green pigment chlorophyll and generates oxygen as a byproduct.
- 12. relating to, involving, or requiring free oxygen.
- 15. relating to or consisting of living cells.

- 1. the process by which biological fuels are oxidised in the presence of an inorganic electron acceptor
- 2. the breakdown of glucose by enzymes, releasing energy and pyruvic acid.
- 4. a stable subatomic particle with a charge of negative electricity, found in all atoms and acting as the primary carrier of electricity in solids.
- 5. the chemical breakdown of a substance by bacteria, yeasts, or other microorganisms, typically involving effervescence and the giving off of heat.
- 6. protein that catalyzes the formation of the energy storage molecule adenosine triphosphate using adenosine diphosphate and inorganic phosphate. ATP synthase is a molecular machine.
- 8. a coenzyme central to metabolism
- 11. the sequence of reactions by which most living cells generate energy during the process of aerobic respiration. It takes place in the mitochondria, consuming oxygen, producing carbon dioxide and water as waste products, and converting ADP to energy-rich ATP.
- 13. Acid a sharp-tasting crystalline acid present in the juice of lemons and other sour fruits. It is made commercially by the fermentation of sugar and used as a flavoring and setting agent.
- 14. the substance between cells or in which structures are embedded.
