Across
- 2. similar to NAD+, accepts electrons during redox reactions
- 4. Membrane bound organelle in eukaryotes; "powerhouse of the cell"; where the Kreb Cycle and ETC take place
- 6. Oxygen is present in the cell's environment
- 9. 3 carbon compound produced in glycolysis
- 12. acid fermentation When an enzyme converts pyruvic acid into a 3-carbon compound called lactic acid
- 13. molecule with 2 phosphate groups that will become ATP when it receives another
- 14. When organic compounds are converted into pyruvic acid; produces ATP and NADH
- 17. commonly known as ATP, an organic molecule that acts as the main energy source for cell processes
- 19. pyruvate is turned into this, which combines with oxaloacetate to form citric acid in the Krebs Cycle
- 22. The combination of glycolysis and additional biochemical pathways that occur in the cytosol
- 24. chain of carrier proteins that transfer electrons from one molecule to the next
Down
- 1. 4-carbon compound that begins the Krebs Cycle by combining with Acetyl CoA
- 3. contained inside the mitochondrianl outer membrane; space inside is called mitochondrial matrix
- 5. oxaloacetate+Acetyl CoA creates this 6-carbon compound
- 7. The complex process in which cells make ATP by breaking down organic compounds
- 8. The region of the cell that is within the plasma membrane and includes the fluid, cytoskeleton, and all organelles except the nucleus
- 10. Enzyme that turns ADP into ATP
- 11. When pyruvic acid is converted into ethyl alcohol
- 15. Chains of chemical reactions
- 16. nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide; reduced to form NADH (electron carrier)
- 18. fermentation is used to help make this and other dairy products
- 20. these two food items depend on alcoholic fermentation, which helps yeast rise and makes alcoholic beverages
- 21. A biochemical pathway that breaks down Acetyl CoA, producing CO2, hydrogen atoms, and ATP
- 23. Does not require oxygen
