Across
- 2. 3C pyruvic acid is changed into 2C ethyl alcohol and CO2; used to make beer, wine, etc.
- 5. A three-carbon molecule that is the end product of glycolysis
- 6. Occurs in the mitochondria; it only occurs if O2 is present
- 8. One 6-C glucose molecule is oxidized to form two 3-C pyruvic acid molecules
- 13. The space between the inner and outer mitochondrial membranes
- 14. Part of the electron transport chain; occurs in the cristae
- 17. Starting and ending of the Krebs' Cycle
- 18. Acts as an electron carrier
Down
- 1. Joins with 2C in the Krebs' Cycle
- 3. An enzyme converts 3C pyruvic acid into another 3C compound called lactic acid; it takes place in muscle cells
- 4. Process of cells breaking down organic compounds to produce ATP
- 7. Oxygen combines with the H+ to form water (H2O)
- 9. Pyruvic acid (3C) produced in glycolysis reacts with coenzyme A to form acetyl CoA (2C)
- 10. Occurs in the cytoplasm; it doesn't require O2
- 11. Where the final stages of cellular respiration occur
- 12. An electron carrier
- 15. Where the Krebs' Cycle occurs
- 16. Stores and transports energy from breaking down food
