Across
- 6. The first stage of cellular respiration happens here
- 7. drives ATP synthase to produce the majority of a cell's ATP
- 11. a single-celled fungus that generates ATP through cellular respiration by breaking down sugars
- 12. Gel filled inner compartment of the mitochondria
- 13. produced as a waste product when glucose is broken down to create energy in the mitochondria
- 14. the primary molecule for storing and transferring energy in all living cells
- 15. a series of protein complexes in a membrane (like the mitochondria) that passes electrons from one molecule to the next, releasing energy at each step
Down
- 1. the three-carbon end product of glycolysis
- 2. A series of chemical reactions that break down glucose to produce ATP
- 3. one 6-carbon glucose molecule is split into two 3-carbon pyruvate molecules,occurs in the cytoplasm

- 5. 21% of atmospheric air and essential to life
- 8. acts as a final byproduct of the electron transport chain
- 9. Plants use photosynthesis to produce this. Another name for glucose
- 10. mitochondrial matrix, converting acetyl-CoA into Carbon dioxide and generating ATP
