Across
- 3. ATP (9, 12).
- 5. Differences in both solute concentration and charge concentration across a membrane give rise to this (15, 8).
- 7. Metabolic pathway in which cells use enzymes to oxidise nutrients, thereby releasing energy which is used to reform ATP (9, 15).
- 11. An element or compound that donates an electron to another chemical species in a redox chemical reaction (8, 5).
- 13. Describing a metabolic process requiring oxygen (7).
- 14. Gain of electrons during burning or corrosion (9).
- 20. Series of enzyme complexes on the inner membrane of mitochondria (8, 9, 5).
- 21. General name for life sustaining chemical transformations within the cells of living organisms (10).
- 23. A common way of storing energy in molecular form (9, 4).
- 25. Iron containing oxygen transport metalloprotein in red blood cells (11).
- 27. Double membrane bound cellular organelles (12).
Down
- 1. Unit of energy contained in a food (7).
- 2. Ultimate source of the electrons for metabolism (4).
- 4. NAD (12, 7, 12).
- 6. Enzyme that creates the energy storage molecule in the mitochondria (3, 8).
- 8. Believed to be the ancestors of the mitochondria based on analysis of the mitochondrial genome (11, 8).
- 9. Gaseous component of air that is used to accept electrons in metabolism (6).
- 10. Type of chemical reactions involving reduction and oxidation (5).
- 12. Group of two or more atoms held together by chemical bonds (8).
- 15. Poisonous gas that binds tightly to the haem unit of haemoglobin thereby starving bodily tissues of oxygen (6, 8).
- 16. Reduced form of NAD+ (4).
- 17. mnemonic for remembering movement of electrons in reduction and oxidation (3, 3).
- 18. subatomic particle with a negative elementary electric charge (8).
- 19. Region in mitochondria with a generally very high proton density (13, 5).
- 22. Well known poison that quickly causes death by blocking cytochrome c oxidase electron transport (7).
- 24. A chemical reaction that releases energy by light or heat (10).
- 26. The space within the inner mitochondrial membrane (6).
