Across
- 3. without oxygen
- 7. crucial 4C molecule in cell metabolism, acting as a key link in the Kreb’s cycle.
- 8. space the narrow gap between the outer and inner membranes of a mitochondria
- 11. the process where ions move across a semipermeable memebrane
- 12. carries high-energy electrons from the Kreb’s cycle to the ETC
- 15. Cycle it’s the “hub” for aerobic metabolism, extracting maximum energy from food.
- 16. Acid Fermentation anaerobic process where cells, like muscle cells during intense exercise or certain bacteria, convert glucose into ATP and lactic acid.
- 17. used to generate more ATP in the presence of oxygen
- 18. respiration process where living cells convert nutrients and oxygen into ATP, releasing carbon dioxide and water.
Down
- 1. process of breaking down a glucose molecule into 2 smaller molecules of pyruvate
- 2. gel-like substance enclosed by the inner membrane of the mitochondrion
- 4. CoA molecule that acts as a central hub in metabolism, formed from the breakdown of carbohydrates, fats, and proteins
- 5. with oxygen
- 6. membrane narrow region between the inner and outer membrane of a mitochondria
- 9. molecule that helps enzymes work
- 10. vital series of proteins in cells that help convert energy into ATP, involving the movement of electrons
- 13. main molecule cells use to provide energy for their functions
- 14. Fermentation anaerobic process where yeast or bacteria convert sugars into ethanol and carbon dioxide
