Across
- 3. describes the pathway that requires a net energy input to synthesize complex molecules from simpler ones
- 5. describes a chemical reaction that results in products with less chemical potential energy than the reactants, plus the release of free energy
- 7. (also, adenosine triphosphate) the cell’s energy currency
- 8. describes a chemical reaction that results in products that store more chemical potential energy than the reactants
- 9. describes the pathway in which complex molecules are broken down into simpler ones, yielding energy as an additional product of the reaction
- 10. all the chemical reactions that take place inside cells, including those that use energy and those that release energy
Down
- 1. a molecule on which the enzyme acts
- 2. the concept of energy flow through living systems
- 4. a molecule that catalyzes a biochemical reaction
- 6. the movement of hydrogen ions down their electrochemical gradient across a membrane through ATP synthase to generate ATP
