Across
- 2. first set of reactions in cellular respiration during which a molecule of glucose is broken down into 2 molecules of pyruvic acid
- 3. second stage of cellular respiration in which pyruvic acid is broken down into carbon dioxide in a series of energy extracting reactions
- 8. process that releases energy by breaking down glucose and other food molecules in the presence of oxygen
- 10. does not give off carbon dioxide; regenerates NAD+ so that glycolysis can continue
- 12. cell organelle that converts the chemical energy stored in food into compounds that are more convineint for the cell to use
Down
- 1. series of electron carrier protiens that shuttle high energy electrons during ATP - generating reactions
- 4. process by which cells release energy in the absence of oxygen
- 5. a yellowish organic acid which occurs as an intermediate in many metabolic processes
- 6. amount of energy needed to raise the temperature of 1 gram of water by 1 degree celcius
- 7. process that requires oxygen
- 9. compound used by cells to store and release energy
- 11. process that does not require oxygen
- 12. innermost compartment of the mitochondrian
