Cellular Respiration
| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| (ADP) Adenosine Diphosphate | molecule formed from the breaking off of a phosphate group for ATP, results in a release of energy that is used for biological reactions |
| (ATP)Adenosine Triphosphate | energy |
| aerobic | chemical reactions that require the presence of oxygen |
| alcoholic fermentation | anaerobic process in which cells convert pyruvic acid into carbon dioxide and ethyl alcohol; carried out by many bacteria and fungi such as yeast |
| anaerobic | chemical reactions that do not require the presence of oxygen |
| cellular respiration | chemical process where glucose is broken down to produce ATP; the three stages of cellular respiration are glycolysis, kreb cycle and the elctron transport chain |
| Kreb cycle | second stage of cellular respiration in which pyruvic acid is broken into carbon dioxide in a series of energy extracting reactions |
| electron transport chain | series of proteins embedded in a membrane along which along which energized electrons are transported; as electrons are passed from molecule to molecule, energy is released |
| glycolysis | in cellular respiration, series of anaerobic chemical reactions in the cytoplasm that breaks down glucose into pyruvic acid; forms a net profit of two molecules |
