Biology Processes
| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| Glycolysis | The release of energy from glucose and other food compounds |
| Cellular Respiration | Made up of Glycolysis, The Krebs Cycle and The Electron Transport Chain |
| Fermentation | Alcoholic and Lactic acid |
| Alcoholic Fermentation | Yeasts and few other microrganisms use alcoholic fermentation |
| Lactic Acid Fermentation | Pyruvic acid that accumulates as a result of glycolysis can be converted to lactic acid |
| The Krebs Cycle | Pyruvic acid produced by glycolysis enters the mitochondrion |
| Krebs cycle continued | At five places in the cycle a pair of high energy electrons is accepted by electron carriers changing NAD+ to NADH and FAD to FADH2 |
| Electron Transport Chain | Electrons generated from the krebs cycle are passed from high energy carriers to the etc |
| Electron Transport Chain continued | Every time 2 high energy electrons transport down the etc their energy is used to transport hydrogen ions across the membrane |
