| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| cellular respiration | the process by which cells obtain energy from carbohydrates |
| pyruvic acid | the three-carbon compound that is that is produced during glycolysis |
| NADH | a high energy electron carrying molecule that functions to produce the majority of the ATP in cellular respiration |
| FADH2 | a high energy electron carrying molecule that functions to produce some of the ATP in cellular respiration |
| anaerobic | describes a process that dose not require oxygen |
| aerobic respiration | the process in which pyruvic is broken down and NADPH is used to make a large amount of ATP |
| glycolysis | the breakdown of glucose by enzymes releasing energy and pyruvic acid |
| Lactic acid | the process formed from glycolysis when there is insufficient oxygen to enter the Krebs cycle |
| alcohol fermentation | the anaerobic process by which yeast and other microorganisms break down sugars to form CO2 and ethanol |
| Krebs cycle | a series of biochemical reactions that converts pyruvic acid into CO2 and H2O |
| Electron transport chain | a series of molecules found in the inner membranes of mitochondria that convert the energy held in NADPH and FADH2 into ATP |
| Matrix | an extracellular substance that gives connective tissue its strength and flexibility |
| Crista | one of the many foldings of the inner membrane of mitochondria |
| Acetyl CoA | the two-carbon beginning reactant in the Krebs cycle |
| -1 14/14 | Redo matrix |
