Across
- 1. a molecule that locks the leftover chemical energy from glucose
- 4. process that releases energy by breaking down glucose and other food molecules in the presence of oxygen
- 5. innermost compartment of the mitochondrion
- 8. amount of energy needed to raise the temperature of 1 gram of water by 1 degree Celsius
- 10. first set of reactions in cellular respiration during which a molecule of glucose is broken into 2 molecules of pyruvic acid
- 14. produces ethyl alcohol and carbon dioxide (Pyruvic acid + NADH -> Alcohol + CO2 + NAD+
- 15. process by which cells release energy in the absence of oxygen
- 16. where cellular respiration happens
Down
- 2. part of Earth's "savings account"
- 3. how organisms get their energy
- 6. process that does not require oxygen
- 7. second stage of cellular respiration in which pyruvic acid is broken down into carbon dioxide in a series of energy-extracting reactions
- 9. process that requires oxygen
- 11. In order to start glycolysis, cells put in 2 ATP molecules. Glycolysis then produces 4 ATP, giving the cell 2 extra ATP molecules
- 12. balances cellular respiration
- 13. electron carrier involved in glycolysis
