| Term | Definition |
|---|---|
| Fermentation | The recycling of NAD under anaerobic conditions |
| Lactic Acid Fermentation | The chemical breakdown of carbohydrates that produces lactic acids as the main end product |
| Alcoholic Fermentation | The anaerobic process by which yeasts and other micro-organisms break down sugars to form carbon dioxide and ethanol |
| Kilocalorie | A unit of energy equal to 1000 calories |
| Redox Reaction | Happens in cellular respiration. It is when one reactant is oxidized (loses electrons) while another is reduced (gains electrons). |
| Photosynthesis Equation | CO2 + H2O ------C6H12O6 + O2 |
| Cellular Respiration Equation | C6H12O6+O2 -------CO2+H2O+energy(ATP) |
| Cellular Respiration | The process in which cells make ATP by breaking down organic compounds; takes place in 2 stages: glycolysis, then aerobic respiration |
| Pyruvic Acid | 3 Carbon products of glycolysis |
| NADH | Reduced electron carrier molecule formed in glycolysis |
| Anaerobic | Does not require oxygen |
| Glycolysis | Pathway that breaks down acetyl CoA producing |
| NAD+ | Electron carrier molecule that is changed to NADH during glycolysis |
| Cristae | Krebs cycle takes place in mitochondria |
| FAD | Flavin adenine dinucleotide, a compound that acts as a hydrogen acceptor in dehydrogenation |
| Glycolysis | The first stage of respiration |
| Aerobic respiration | Biochemical pathway that occurs within the mitochondria |
| Calvin Cycle | Not a part of cellular respiration |
| Mitochondrial Matrix | The fluid that is inside the inner membrane of a mitochondria |
| Krebs Cylce | A series of biochemical reactions that convert pyruvic acid into CO2 and H2O, it is the major pathway of oxidation in animal, bacterial, and plant cells. It releases energy |
| Oxaloacetic Acid | A 4 carbon compound of Krebs Cycle that combines with acetyl critic acid |
| Citric Acid | 6 carbon compound formed in the Krebs Cycle |
| Electron Transport Chain | It is in aerobic respiration. Oxygen and hydrogen combine to form water. The most energy is produced at this time in cellular respiration |
