Question
Answer
glycolysis   a biochemical pathway in which one six-carbon molecule of glucose is oxidized to produce two three-carbon molecules of pyruvic acid  
fermentation   the combination of glycolysis and these additional pathways, which regenerate NAD+  
lactic acid fermentation   an enzyme converts pyruvic acid made during glycolysis into another three-carbon compound  
alcoholic fermentation   to convert pyruvic acid into ethyl alcohol  
kilocalories   energy is measured in this unit  
Ethyl Alcohol   glucose-->glycolysis-->pyruvic acid-->co2-->2-carbon compound-->?  
Lactic Acid   glucose-->glycolysis-->pyruvic acid-->?  
Lactic Acid products   cheese, buttermilk, yogurt, sour cream, etc.  
Alcoholic products   bread, alchoholic beverages, sparkling wines, chaampagne, etc.  
Glycolysis   Glucose-->6-carbon compound-->2 molecules of G3P-->2 molecules of new 3-carbon compound-->2 molecules of pyruvic acid  
Cellular respiration formula   Organic compounds-->glycolysis-->pyruvic acid + ATP-->aerobic respiration-->co2 + h20--> or + ATP  
fermentation formula   Organic compound-->glycolysis-->pyruvic acid + ATP-->anaerobic pathways--> lactic acid, ethyl alcohol, or other compounds  
Glycolysis products   small amount of atp and nadh  
aerobic respiration   if oxygen is present in the cell's environment, pyruvic acid is broken down and NADH is used to make a large amount of ATP  
Cellular respiration   the complex process in which cells make adenosine triphosphate by breaking down organic compounds
