Across
- 2. the innermost compartment of the mitochondria and the site of the Krebs cycle reactions
- 3. second stage of cellular respiration in which pyruvic acid is broken down into carbon dioxide in a series of energy-extracting reactions
- 4. a flattened membrane sac inside the chloroplast
- 5. an organism that obtains organic food by eating other organisms or their by-products
- 8. the process that relates energy from food in the presence of oxygen
- 10. does not require oxygen
- 12. an adenine-containing nucleoside triphosphate that releases free energy when its phosphate bonds are hydrolyzed. This energy is used to drive endergonic reactions in cells
- 13. electron carrier that is used when Glycolysis removes 4 electrons and pass through NAD+
- 14. the second of two major stages in photosynthesis involving CO2 fixation and reduction of the fixed carbon into carbohydrate
Down
- 1. process by which cells release energy in the absence of oxygen which follow Glycolysis
- 6. a colored substance that absorbs light over a narrow band of wavelengths
- 7. the first set of reactions in cellular respiration in which a molecule of glucose is broken into 2 molecules of pyruvic acid
- 9. The conversion of light energy to chemical energy
- 11. heat of unit of heat energy
- 15. requires oxygen
