Cellular Respiration

3. A three-carbon molecule produced at the end of glycolysis
4. The fluid portion of the cell where glycolysis takes place
6. A A molecule that carries an acetyl group during cellular metabolism
7. A molecule that carries a two-carbon acetyl group into the citric acid cycle
8. The primary energy-carrying molecule used to power cellular activities
11. The organelle where pyruvate oxidation, the citric acid cycle, and oxidative phosphorylation occur in eukaryotic cells
12. respiration Cellular respiration that uses oxygen as the final electron acceptor
13. The first stage of cellular respiration that splits one glucose molecule into two pyruvate molecules
14. The stage that converts pyruvate into acetyl-CoA before the citric acid cycle

1. A six-carbon sugar that serves as a major fuel source for cellular respiration
2. The process cells use to break down organic molecules and capture energy in ATP
5. ATP production powered by the electron transport chain and the proton gradient
9. The addition of a phosphate group to a molecule
10. A series of reactions that oxidizes acetyl-CoA and generates electron carriers, carbon dioxide, and a small amount of ATP or GTP
