4. a biotechnological process accomplished by yeast, some kinds of bacteria, or a few other microorganisms to convert sugars into ethyl alcohol and carbon dioxide
6. of energy needed to raise the temperature of one gram of water by one degree celcius.
9. process that releases energy by breaking down glucose and other food molecules in the presence of oxygen
11. electron carrier involved in glycolysis
12. the source of energy for use and storage at the cellular level.
14. a chemical your body produces when your cells break down carbohydrates for energy
16. a type of anaerobic respiration (or fermentation) that breaks down sugars to produce energy in the form of ATP

1. a yellowish organic acid which occurs as an intermediate in many metabolic processes, especially glycolysis.
2. process that does not require oxygen
3. removes carbon dioxide from the atmosphere and adds oxygen
5. uses high-energy electrons from glycolysis and the Kreb cycle to synthesize ATP from ADP.
7. process by which cells release energy in the absence of oxygen
8. innermost compartment of the mitochondrion
10. process that requires oxygen
13. first set of reactions in cellular respiration during which a molecule of glucose is broken into 2 molecules of pyruic acid.
15. second stage of cellular respiration in which pyruvic acid is broken down into carbon dioxide in a series of energy-extracting reactions
17. makes ATP
