Cellular Respiration

8. requiring free oxygen
9. metabolic process in living organisms by which oxygen is combined with carbon in a cell to form carbon dioxide and generate energy
14. a metabolic process by which glucose or other six-carbon sugars (also, disaccharides of six-carbon sugars, e.g. sucrose or lactose) are converted into cellular energy and the metabolite lactate
16. a double-membrane-bound organelle found in most eukaryotic organisms
19. an electrically neutral group of two or more atoms held together by chemical bonds
20. the metabolic pathway that converts glucose C₆H₁₂O₆, into pyruvic acid
21. a form of potential energy found within chemical bonds, atoms, and subatomic particles

1. colorless, odorless reactive gas
2. the basic structural and functional unit of life
3. a metabolic process that produces chemical changes in organic substrates through the action of enzymes
4. an organic compound and hydrotrope that provides energy to drive many processes in living cells
5. a cofactor used in anabolic reactions, such as the Calvin cycle and lipid and nucleic acid syntheses
6. a colorless, odorless gas produced by burning carbon and organic compounds and by respiration
7. relating to, involving, or requiring an absence of free oxygen
10. a gas of diatomic molecules having the formula H2
11. a series of chemical reactions to release stored energy
12. chemical element of atomic number 6, a nonmetal which has two main forms (diamond and graphite) and which also occurs in impure form in charcoal
13. a living organism of the kind
15. a cofactor used in anabolic reactions, such as the Calvin cycle
17. colorless, odorless reactive gas
18. an important organic compound in metabolism and is essential to the flow of energy in living cells
