Across
  1. 2. The complete catabolic breakdown of glucose to generate ATP. The cell's meticulously controlled burn, turning sugar into life's energy.
  2. 4. The process by which a proton gradient drives ATP synthesis. The genius idea: using proton flow to power ATP creation.
  3. 6. _________ fermentation. Occurs in muscle cells during strenuous exercise. The "feel the burn" pathway, powering muscles when oxygen is low.
  4. 9. The three-carbon end product of glycolysis
  5. 10. Uses the energy of a proton gradient to synthesize ATP. The tiny turbine, literally spinning out energy currency.
  6. 13. ___________fermentation, in yeast and produces ethanol and carbon dioxide.
  7. 16. Splitting glucose in half, the first act performed in the bustling cytoplasm.
  8. 18. The specific location where the citric acid cycle takes place

  10. 21. ETC + Chemiosmosis.
Down
  1. 1. A two-carbon compound that enters the citric acid cycle.
  2. 3. A series of protein complexes that transfer electrons, generating a proton gradient.
  3. 5. The final electron acceptor in the electron transport chain.
  4. 7. Where glycolysis occurs
  5. 8. Mitochondrial Membrane _____ mitochondrial membrane- where the ETC and ATP synthase are located.
  6. 11. Carries high-energy electrons to the ETC. The primary electron taxi.
  7. 12. A six-carbon sugar that serves as the primary energy source for cellular respiration.
  8. 14. __________ cycle-A central metabolic pathway that oxidizes acetyl-CoA, producing ATP, NADH, and FADH2.
  9. 15. Organelle for cellular respiration.
  10. 17. Pyruvate ____________. The conversion of pyruvate to acetyl-CoA, releasing carbon dioxide.
  11. 19. A byproduct formed at the end of the electron transport chain when oxygen accepts electrons.
