  1. 3. Reactions that usually release energy
  2. 5. The initial energy that is used to get a reaction started
  3. 7. Process that synthesizes ATP using the energy of an electrochemical gradient and ATP synthase
  4. 10. Proteins that speed up chemical reactions
  5. 12. Anaerobic process in which glucose is broken down into different products such as two pyruvate and a total of four ATP and two NADH
  6. 13. The specific site in which an enzyme attached towards the substrate
  7. 14. Surrounds the thylakoid membrane, involved in the synthesis of organic molecules
  8. 16. Process in which plants use light energy to convert water and carbon to oxygen and sugars
  9. 17. Process that releases energy by breaking down glucose either with or without oxygen
  10. 18. A certain type of chemical reaction that usually involves the loss of an electron, and even the addition of oxygen and the loss of hydrogen
Down
  1. 1. Reduces the activity of an enzyme by entering the active site instead of the substrate
  2. 2. The entry of the substrate, change of the shape of an active site in order to fit the enzyme
  3. 4. Makes a limited amount of ATP without an electron transport chain and it produces lactic acid
  4. 5. An organism that can provide it's own energy and food
  5. 6. Sacs inside the chloroplast that are used to convert light energy to chemical energy
  6. 8. The specific reactant that an enzyme acts upon
  7. 9. Reduces the activity of an enzyme by binding to a different location so that the enzyme doesn't bind to the substrate anymore
  8. 10. Reactions that usually absorb energy from it's surroundings
  9. 11. Organelles that specifically capture energy from sunlight and convert it towards chemicals energy through photosynthesis
  10. 15. Main energy source that cells use
