Across
  1. 2. gelatinous liquid that fills the inside of a cell
  2. 4. The process of cellular respiration that takes place in the presence of oxygen, gas to produce energy from food
  3. 6. A chemical process in which oxygen is used to make energy from carbohydrates (sugars)
  4. 11. a series of four protein complexes that couple redox reactions, creating an electrochemical gradient that leads to the creation of ATP in a complete system named oxidative phosphorylation
  5. 12. the breakdown of glucose by enzymes, releasing energy and pyruvic acid.
  6. 13. an organelle found in large numbers in most cells, in which the biochemical processes of respiration and energy production occur. It has a double membrane, the inner layer being folded inward to form layers (cristae)
Down
  1. 1. a series of four protein complexes that couple redox reactions, creating an electrochemical gradient that leads to the creation of ATP in a complete system named oxidative phosphorylation
  2. 3. a molecule that participates in many biochemical reactions in protein, carbohydrate and lipid metabolism.
  3. 5. a salt or ester of pyruvic acid.
  4. 7. a process in living organisms involving the production of energy, typically with the intake of oxygen and the release of carbon dioxide from the oxidation of complex organic substances.
  5. 8. a sequence of reactions in the living organism in which oxidation of acetic acid or acetyl equivalent provides energy for storage in phosphate bonds (as in ATP)
  6. 9. the movement of ions across a semipermable membrane bound structure, down their electrochemical gradient
  7. 10. an important “energy molecule” found in all life forms
