Across
- 4. The process cells use to break down glucose and other molecules to make ATP (energy).
- 6. An anaerobic process where pyruvate is turned into alcohol (ethanol) and carbon dioxide while making a small amount of ATP (used by yeast).
- 7. An anaerobic process where pyruvate is turned into lactic acid and small amounts of ATP are made (happens in muscle cells during hard exercise).
- 9. A process that does require oxygen.
- 11. The deeply folded membrane inside the mitochondria where the electron transport chain is located.
- 13. A process that does not require oxygen.
- 14. The main energy molecule used by cells.
- 15. A group of proteins in the inner mitochondrial membrane that use electrons from NADH and FADH₂ to produce lots of ATP.
- 16. Another electron carrier that transports electrons to the electron transport chain.
- 17. The first step of cellular respiration; glucose is broken into two pyruvate molecules and a small amount of ATP is made.
- 18. The process where hydrogen ions (H⁺) flow through ATP synthase to make ATP.
Down
- 1. A series of chemical reactions in the mitochondria that break down Acetyl CoA to make CO₂, ATP, NADH, and FADH₂.
- 2. A three-carbon molecule produced at the end of glycolysis; it can enter either aerobic respiration or fermentation.
- 3. A molecule formed from pyruvate that enters the Krebs cycle during aerobic respiration.
- 5. The space between the inner and outer membranes of the mitochondria.
- 8. The inner fluid-filled space of the mitochondria where the Krebs cycle happens.
- 10. A molecule in the Krebs cycle that joins with Acetyl CoA to start the cycle again.
- 12. An electron carrier molecule that stores energy and delivers electrons to the electron transport chain.
