A catabolic process that makes a limited amount of ATP from glucose without an electron transport chain and that produces a characteristic end product, such as ethyl alcohol or lactic acid.

The most prevalent and efficient catabolic pathway for the production of ATP, in which oxygen is consumed as a reactant along with the organic fuel.

A chemical reaction involving the transfer of one or more electrons from one reactant to another; also called oxidation-reduction reaction

The addition of electrons to a substance involved in a redox reaction.

Nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide, a coenzyme present in all cells that helps enzymes transfer electrons during the redox reactions of metabolism.

oxidative phosphorylation

The production of ATP using energy derived from the redox reactions of an electron transport chain.

substrate-level phosphorylation

The formation of ATP by directly transferring a phosphate group to ADP from an intermediate substrate in catabolism.

A cluster of several membrane proteins found in the mitochondrial crista (and bacterial plasma membrane) that function in chemiosmosis with adjacent electron transport chains, using the energy of a hydrogen ion concentration gradient to make ATP. ATP synt

An energy-coupling mechanism that uses energy stored in the form of a hydrogen ion gradient across a membrane to drive cellular work, such as the synthesis of ATP. Most ATP synthesis in cells occurs by chemiosmosis.

Containing oxygen; referring to an organism, environment, or cellular process that requires oxygen.

The conversion of pyruvate to carbon dioxide and ethyl alcohol.

Lacking oxygen; referring to an organism, environment, or cellular process that lacks oxygen and may be poisoned by it.

lactic acid fermentation

The conversion of pyruvate to lactate with no release of carbon dioxide.

An organism that makes ATP by aerobic respiration if oxygen is present but that switches to fermentation under anaerobic conditions.
