Across 1. the chemical processes involved with the production of cellular ATP 3. a metabolic pathway in the cytoplasm of the cell that results in the degradation of glucose into pyruvate or lactate 8. without oxygen 9. enzyme capable of breaking down ATP to ADP + Pi + energy 11. breakdown of free fatty acids to form acetyl-CoA 12. the cylce of lactate to glucose between the muscle and liver 14. a molecule that combines with inorganic phosphate to form ATP 16. high energy phosphate compund synthesized and used by cells to release energy for cellular work 18. an increase in the muscle glucogen content above normal levels following an exercise induced muslce glycogen depletion and an increase in carbohydrate intake 19. term used to describe the metabolic pathway involving muscle stores of ATP and the use of phosphocreatine to rephosphorylate ADP. This pathway is ised at the onset of ecercise and during short term high intensity work

Down 2. a stimulator of cellular metablusm, split off, along with ADP, from ATP when energy is released 4. coenzyme that transfers hydrogen and the energy associated with those hydrogens, in the krebs cycle, NAD transfers energy from susbtrates to the electron tranpsort chain 5. flavin adenine dinucleotide. serves as an elsctron carrier in bioenergetics 6. metabolic pathway in the mitochondria in which energy is tranferred from carbohydrates, fats and amino acids to NAD for subsequent production of ATP in the electron transport chain 7. an end product of glucose metabolism in the glycolytic pathway, formed in conditions of inadequate oxygen and in muscle fibers with few mitochondria 10. a compound found in skeletal muscle and used to resynthesize ATP from ADP 13. a glucose polymer synthesized in cells as a means of storing carbohydrates 14. with oxygen 15. a simple sugar that is transported via the blood and metabolized by tissues 17. a series of cytochromes in the mitochondria that are responsible for oxidative phosporylation

The look has changed! Some of the puzzles that people list for the public get indexed by the search engines (like Google). Some people find those puzzles and cannot figure out how to make a puzzle of their own. So this page now has the navigation sidebar.

Use the "Printable HTML" button to get a clean page, in either HTML or PDF, that you can use your browser's print button to print. This page won't have buttons or ads, just your puzzle. The PDF format allows the web site to know how large a printer page is, and the fonts are scaled to fill the page. The PDF takes awhile to generate. Don't panic!
